AML.T0046: Spamming ML System with Chaff Data
Flood the model with junk to degrade accuracy or exhaust resources.
Last reviewed July 2026
The gap AML.T0046 closes
In MITRE ATLAS, Spamming ML System with Chaff Data addresses impact. Flood the model with junk to degrade accuracy or exhaust resources. Penaxtra records this control at medium severity and establishes its state by exercising it against the running system, so the result reflects observed behavior rather than a documented assertion.
How Penaxtra delivers AML.T0046
Penaxtra maps its probe families to this ATLAS technique, so activity matching spamming ml system with chaff data surfaces as a finding carrying the AML.T0046 technique identifier for threat tracking and reporting. The MITRE ATLAS AML.T0046 identifier is attached when the finding is created, so it appears in the exported evidence pack already mapped to the control. Where the same weakness maps to another framework, the finding carries those control identifiers as well.
AML.T0046 capabilities
Findings tagged with the MITRE ATLAS AML
T0046 identifier.
Penaxtra severity for this control (medium)
Cross-framework identifiers attached to the same finding where controls overlap
PDF and JSON evidence export with the control identifier attached
AML.T0046 compliance mapping
Findings for AML.T0046 carry the MITRE ATLAS AML.T0046 identifier along with the corresponding control identifiers in the other frameworks Penaxtra maps, so one result is reflected across each mapped framework.
