Nome: Missing Immutable Root of Trust in Hardware

A missing immutable root of trust in the hardware results in the ability to bypass secure boot or execute untrusted or adversarial boot code.

Informações Gerais

Modos de Introdução

Architecture and Design
Implementation : Such issues could be introduced during policy definition, hardware architecture, design, manufacturing, and/or provisioning. They can be identified later during testing or system configuration phases.

Consequências Comuns

Escopo Impacto Probabilidade
Authentication
Authorization
Gain Privileges or Assume Identity, Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands, Modify MemoryHigh

Mitigações Potenciais

Phases : Architecture and Design
When architecting the system, the RoT should be designated for storage in a memory that does not allow further programming/writes.
Phases : Implementation
During implementation and test, the RoT memory location should be demonstrated to not allow further programming/writes.

Métodos de Detecção

Automated Dynamic Analysis

Automated testing can verify that RoT components are immutable.
Eficácia : High

Architecture or Design Review

Root of trust elements and memory should be part of architecture and design reviews.
Eficácia : High

Notas de Mapeamento de Vulnerabilidade

Justificativa : 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.
Comentário : 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.

Padrões de Ataque Relacionados

CAPEC-ID Nome do Padrão de Ataque
CAPEC-679 Exploitation of Improperly Configured or Implemented Memory Protections
CAPEC-68 Subvert Code-signing Facilities
Many languages use code signing facilities to vouch for code's identity and to thus tie code to its assigned privileges within an environment. Subverting this mechanism can be instrumental in an attacker escalating privilege. Any means of subverting the way that a virtual machine enforces code signing classifies for this style of attack.
