CVE-2023-43630

Device takeover via unmeasured configuration changes

Published Sep 20, 2023 · Updated Sep 24, 2024

Improper measured boot in LF Edge EVE-OS allows physically proximate attackers to alter the config partition without detection. DiskKeySealingPCRs omits PCR14 and seals the vault key against SHA-1 PCR values, while measurefs.go extends only SHA-256 PCR14. Physical disk access permits offline configuration changes that evade measured boot and remote attestation, enabling device control and vault access.
