01

What, why and how

Improper access control between the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) and Advanced Extensible Interface (AXI) could allow an attacker with physical access to read or overwrite the contents of cross-chip debug (XCD) registers potentially resulting in loss of data integrity or confidentiality.

What

Improper access control between the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) and Advanced Extensible Interface (AXI) could allow an attacker with physical access to read or overwrite the contents of cross-chip debug (XCD) registers potentially resulting in loss of data integrity or confidentiality.

Why

The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.

How

An attacker operating through physical access may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-284

CWE-284: Improper Access Control. The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
