- CWE-1326 - Missing Immutable Root of Trust in Hardware
Summary
Deck Mate 2 lacks a verified secure-boot chain and runtime integrity validation for its controller and display modules. Without cryptographic boot verification, an attacker with physical access can modify or replace the bootloader, kernel, or filesystem and gain persistent code execution on reboot. This weakness allows long-term firmware tampering that survives power cycles. The vendor indicates that more recent firmware updates strengthen update-chain integrity and disable physical update ports to mitigate related attack avenues.

Summary
Deck Mate 1 executes firmware directly from an external EEPROM without verifying authenticity or integrity. An attacker with physical access can replace or reflash the EEPROM to run arbitrary code that persists across reboots. Because this design predates modern secure-boot or signed-update mechanisms, affected systems should be physically protected or retired from service. The vendor has not indicated that firmware updates are available for this legacy model.

Mitigation
Phase: Architecture and Design
Description:
- When architecting the system, the RoT should be designated for storage in a memory that does not allow further programming/writes.
Mitigation
Phase: Implementation
Description:
- During implementation and test, the RoT memory location should be demonstrated to not allow further programming/writes.
CAPEC-679: Exploitation of Improperly Configured or Implemented Memory Protections
An adversary takes advantage of missing or incorrectly configured access control within memory to read/write data or inject malicious code into said memory.
CAPEC-68: Subvert Code-signing Facilities
Many languages use code signing facilities to vouch for code's identity and to thus tie code to its assigned privileges within an environment. Subverting this mechanism can be instrumental in an attacker escalating privilege. Any means of subverting the way that a virtual machine enforces code signing classifies for this style of attack.
