名称: Incorrect Register Defaults or Module Parameters

Hardware description language code incorrectly defines register defaults or hardware Intellectual Property (IP) parameters to insecure values.

基本信息

背景详情

引入方式

Implementation : Such issues could be introduced during implementation of hardware design, since IP parameters and defaults are defined in HDL code and identified later during Testing or System Configuration phases.

Varies by Context

注意: The system security settings of a hardware design can be affected by incorrectly defined default values or IP parameters. The hardware IP would be in an insecure state at power reset, and this can be exposed or exploited by untrusted software running on the system. Degradation of system functionality or loss of access control enforcement can occur.
OtherReduce Maintainability

注意: Both register defaults and parameters are hardcoded values, which cannot be changed using software or firmware patches but must be changed in hardware silicon. Thus, such security issues are considerably more difficult to address later in the lifecycle.

潜在缓解措施

Phases : Architecture and Design
During hardware design, all the system parameters and register defaults must be reviewed to identify security sensitive settings.
Phases : Implementation
The default values of these security sensitive settings need to be defined as part of the design review phase.

检测方法

Automated Analysis

Use automated tools to test that values are configured per design specifications. Hardware designs can have a large number of such parameters and register defaults settings, and it is important to have design tool support to check these settings in an automated way and be able to identify which settings are security sensitive.

漏洞映射说明

依据 : 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.
备注 : 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.

相关攻击模式

CAPEC ID 攻击模式名称
CAPEC-166 Force the System to Reset Values
An attacker forces the target into a previous state in order to leverage potential weaknesses in the target dependent upon a prior configuration or state-dependent factors. Even in cases where an attacker may not be able to directly control the configuration of the targeted application, they may be able to reset the configuration to a prior state since many applications implement reset functions.
