Glexia's Take · Automated analysis
CWE-1283: Mutable Attestation or Measurement Reporting Data
Mutable Attestation or Measurement Reporting Data represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
Executive Impact
- Confidentiality: Read Memory,Read Application Data
Developer Pattern
CWE-1283 is the kind of defect developers can usually prevent with explicit validation, safer framework defaults, and tests that exercise hostile input or unsafe state transitions.
Automation confidence
high confidence from CWE-1283, 4.20.
Generated from the cited source records. This long-tail analysis has not been individually reviewed by a named human.
Official CWE Definition
CWE-1283: Mutable Attestation or Measurement Reporting Data
The register contents used for attestation or measurement reporting data to verify boot flow are modifiable by an adversary.
Developer And Remediation Guidance
How teams prevent and detect this weakness
Causes
- The SoC extends the hash and stores the results in registers. Without protection, an adversary can write their chosen hash values to these registers. Thus, the attacker controls the reported results.
Remediation
- Architecture and Design:
Detection
- Code review
- SAST
- DAST
- Focused regression tests
