“The supervisor’s password screen could be subverted through a simple SQL injection attack — a common hacker tactic that involves entering a special string of characters to trigger a system into doing something it shouldn’t do. In this case, the string would allow an attacker to bypass the login to gain access to a console screen that controls the TIP feature.  Using the console, an attacker could then direct the system to superimpose weapons or other contraband onto the x-ray images of clean bags to disrupt passenger screening. Or the attacker could superimpose images of clean bags onto the operator’s monitor to cover the true x-ray image of a bag containing contraband.”
