CVE-2023-24062Public exploit

Physical code execution via unchecked root directories

Published Aug 8, 2024 · Updated Mar 18, 2025

Improper root-filesystem validation in Diebold Nixdorf Vynamic Security Suite permits physically proximate attackers to execute pre-boot code. The first PBA phase uses an EFI index to hash only selected Linux files, leaving unindexed content and the root directory structure unchecked. Affected releases precede 3.3.0 SR12, 4.0.0 SR04, 4.1.0 SR02, or 4.2.0 SR01; exploitation requires physical hard-disk access.
