Weakness (CWE)

CWE-1270: Generation of Incorrect Security Tokens

Base Incomplete

The product implements a Security Token mechanism to differentiate what actions are allowed or disallowed when a transaction originates from an entity. However, the Security Tokens generated in the system are incorrect.

More detail

Systems-On-a-Chip (SoC) (Integrated circuits and hardware engines) implement Security Tokens to differentiate and identify actions originated from various agents. These actions could be "read", "write", "program", "reset", "fetch", "compute", etc. Security Tokens are generated and assigned to every agent on the SoC that is either capable of generating an action or receiving an action from another agent. Every agent could be assigned a unique Security Token based on its trust level or privileges.

How to prevent it (1 mitigation)

  1. Architecture and Design, Implementation

    - Generation of Security Tokens should be reviewed for design inconsistency and common weaknesses.

    - Security-Token definition and programming flow should be tested in pre-silicon and post-silicon testing.
