Missing Immutable Root of Trust in Hardware
CWE-1326
A missing immutable root of trust in the hardware results in the ability to bypass secure boot or execute untrusted or adversarial boot code.
We track 7 vulnerabilities of this type. 100% are rated high or critical, and the average CVSS score is 7.5.
How this weakness is prevented
- Architecture and Design: When architecting the system, the RoT should be designated for storage in a memory that does not allow further programming/writes. Note that, for components like ROM, secure patching/update features should be supported to allow authenticated and authorized updates in the field.
- Implementation: During implementation and test, the RoT memory location should be demonstrated to not allow further programming/writes.
