CWE-1328
Weakness AllowedSecurity Version Number Mutable to Older Versions
Abstraction: Base · Status: Draft
The security version number in the hardware product is mutable, resulting in the ability to downgrade (roll-back) the boot firmware to vulnerable code versions.
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.
Relationships and members
Modes of introduction
Such issues could be introduced during hardware architecture and design, and can be identified later during testing or system configuration phases.
Detection methods
Automated Dynamic Analysis
Mutability of stored security version numbers and programming with older firmware images should be part of automated testing.
Effectiveness: High
Architecture or Design Review
Anti-roll-back features should be reviewed as part of Architecture or Design review.
Effectiveness: High

Mitigation
The security version number must be stored securely and persistently across power-on resets. When architecting the system, security version data should be designated for storage in registers that are either read-only or have access controls that prevent modification by an untrusted agent.
Mitigation
During implementation and test, security version data should be demonstrated to be read-only and access controls should be validated.
CAPEC-176: Configuration/Environment Manipulation
An attacker manipulates files or settings external to a target application which affect the behavior of that application. For example, many applications use external configuration files and libraries - modification of these entities or otherwise affecting the application's ability to use them would constitute a configuration/environment manipulation attack.
