For  sake  of  allowing  proper risk  assessment by technically less
trained persons - one should coin a better term than classical mitm -
but maybe I am mistaken? what about MITMa (man in the machine)

In my experience, "Man in the Browser" (or MitB) is the phrase that 
this is commonly known as in the anti-malware and phishing communities 
(regardless that some of the components involved are not "in the 
browser", per se, at all).
