Nome: Missing Ability to Patch ROM Code
Missing an ability to patch ROM code may leave a System or System-on-Chip (SoC) in a vulnerable state.

Potential Mitigations
Phases : Architecture and Design // ImplementationSecure patch support to allow ROM code to be patched on the next boot.
Phases : Architecture and Design // Implementation
Support patches that can be programmed in-field or during manufacturing through hardware fuses. This feature can be used for limited patching of devices after shipping, or for the next batch of silicon devices manufactured, without changing the full device ROM.
Note sulla mappatura delle vulnerabilità
Giustificazione : This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.Commento : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.

| CAPEC-ID | Nome del pattern di attacco |
|---|---|
| CAPEC-682 | Exploitation of Firmware or ROM Code with Unpatchable Vulnerabilities
An adversary may exploit vulnerable code (i.e., firmware or ROM) that is unpatchable. Unpatchable devices exist due to manufacturers intentionally or inadvertently designing devices incapable of updating their software. Additionally, with updatable devices, the manufacturer may decide not to support the device and stop making updates to their software. |
