Downgrade Attack

T1689 · MITRE ATT&CK

Adversaries may force a system feature to use an older version that lacks current security controls. ATT&CK T1689 includes legacy interpreters, network protocols, and boot-manager downgrades; its PowerShell example notes that versions before 5 lack Script Block Logging. The steps here cover only a benign Windows PowerShell 2.0 launch check: the requested engine must already be installed, and Microsoft reports it removed from Windows 11, version 24H2, and Windows Server 2025. This entry does not model the protocol or boot-manager variants.
