Content Delivery Network (CDN) Cache Poisoning is a cyber attack that targets the caching mechanism of a CDN, causing it to serve malicious content to users. This can lead to DoS attacks against cloud applications, disrupting their availability and integrity. Attackers can manipulate the cache of a CDN to serve unauthorized content or inject malicious scripts, leading to potential security breaches and service disruptions.
CDN Cache Poisoning works by manipulating the CDNs cache to store malicious content or scripts. Attackers may exploit vulnerabilities in the CDNs caching mechanism or trick the CDN into serving unauthorized or malicious content to users. By poisoning the cache with harmful content, attackers can create a backdoor entry to inject malware or launch DoS attacks against the cloud applications served by the CDN.
CDN Cache Poisoning can have severe impacts on cloud applications, including:
Organizations can protect against CDN Cache Poisoning attacks by implementing secure coding practices, monitoring CDN traffic for suspicious activities, and regularly updating and patching their CDN software to address any vulnerabilities.
Common signs of CDN Cache Poisoning attacks include unexpected changes in website content, slowdowns in website performance, and unusual spikes in traffic or resource consumption on the CDN servers.
Yes, organizations can use Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to detect and mitigate CDN Cache Poisoning attacks in real-time. These tools can monitor incoming traffic, analyze behavior patterns, and block malicious activities before they impact the cloud applications.
