Weakness (CWE)
CWE-1262: Improper Access Control for Register Interface
The product uses memory-mapped I/O registers that act as an interface to hardware functionality from software, but there is improper access control to those registers.
More detail
Software commonly accesses peripherals in a System-on-Chip (SoC) or other device through a memory-mapped register interface. Malicious software could tamper with any security-critical hardware data that is accessible directly or indirectly through the register interface, which could lead to a loss of confidentiality and integrity.
How to prevent it (2 mitigations)
-
Architecture and Design
Design proper policies for hardware register access from software.
-
Implementation
Ensure that access control policies for register access are implemented in accordance with the specified design.
