T1576: Uninstall Malicious Application
Adversaries may include functionality in malware that uninstalls the malicious application from the device. This can be achieved by:
* Abusing device owner permissions to perform silent uninstallation using device owner API calls. * Abusing root permissions to delete files from the filesystem. * Abusing the accessibility service. This requires an intent be sent to the system to request uninstallation, and then abusing the accessibility service to click the proper places on the screen to confirm uninstallation.
This ATT&CK object is revoked or deprecated in the current MITRE ATT&CK release.
It remains available for historical context and inbound links. Use current ATT&CK relationships and replacement guidance before basing detection or reporting work on this page.
