This misconfiguration highlights a detailed aspect of the MITRE ATT&CK matrix and describes a security gap with regards to legacy or unpatched systems.

Malicious actors exploit outdated software and legacy systems by targeting known vulnerabilities. These systems often lack modern security features such as multi-factor authentication and advanced encryption, making them easy targets for cyberattacks. Attackers can use these weaknesses to gain unauthorized access, deploy malware, or disrupt services.

Mitigations: Regular updates and proactive security measures are essential to protect against these threats and ensure system integrity.
