CWE-1310
Weakness AllowedMissing Ability to Patch ROM Code
Abstraction: Base · Status: Draft
Missing an ability to patch ROM code may leave a System or System-on-Chip (SoC) in a vulnerable state.
A System or System-on-Chip (SoC) that implements a boot process utilizing security mechanisms such as Root-of-Trust (RoT) typically starts by executing code from a Read-only-Memory (ROM) component.
Mapping guidance
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.
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.
Modes of introduction
This issue could be introduced during hardware architecture and design and can be identified later during Testing.
This issue could be introduced during implementation and can be identified later during Testing.
This issue could be introduced during integration and can be identified later during Testing.
This issue could be introduced during manufacturing and can be identified later during Testing.

Mitigation
Secure patch support to allow ROM code to be patched on the next boot.
Mitigation
Support patches that can be programmed in-field or during manufacturing through hardware fuses. This feature can be used for limited patching of devices after shipping, or for the next batch of silicon devices manufactured, without changing the full device ROM.
CAPEC-682: Exploitation of Firmware or ROM Code with Unpatchable Vulnerabilities
An adversary may exploit vulnerable code (i.e., firmware or ROM) that is unpatchable. Unpatchable devices exist due to manufacturers intentionally or inadvertently designing devices incapable of updating their software. Additionally, with updatable devices, the manufacturer may decide not to support the device and stop making updates to their software.
