Oops, forget to write "can". Of course: "An attacker can impersonate the role of another SDN controller in the network."
Thank you for suggesting the clarification, and providing the second suggestion. Below, I'll ask the Edit Team to make the change:
Edit Team, please make the following changes in the ESR (these are direct quotes from HolgerBlasumSYSGO, creditting their input):
FROM (OLD): "An attacker can take over the role of the SDN controller and thus compromise the entire network."
CHANGE TO (NEW) "An attacker can impersonate the role of the SDN controller in the network. An attacker can impersonate the role of another SDN controller in the network."
@kgal @zsmi, @jmcdaniels - Justin Fisher Justin.Fisher@leidos.com is part of our contractor edit team and is looking to make edits to the ESR based on these comments. Can you provide an assist to him and the necessary permissions for him to do this please?
change made 11/29, will be reflected in latest build
ESR, Section Attacker Access
FROM (OLD)
"An attacker can take over the role of the SDN controller and thus compromise the entire network."
CHANGE TO (NEW)
"An attacker can impersonate the role of the SDN controller in the network."
Rationale
I think this is meant here. Otherwise, if the attacker would already have taken over the particular SDN controller this ESR wants to protect, it's game over anyway.
