CVE-2023-29063

Physical memory disclosure via exposed PCIe slots

Published Nov 28, 2023 · Updated Feb 25, 2026

Information disclosure in BD FACSChorus 3.0 through 3.1 and 5.0 through 5.1 allows physically proximate attackers to read startup memory. The workstation chassis leaves internal PCIe slots physically accessible and permits an inserted DMA-capable card to capture RAM during startup. Physical access to the internal PCI bus is required; captured memory can expose a BitLocker encryption key without changing or interrupting the workstation.
