CWE-1262: Improper Access Control for Register Interface
Weakness ID : 1262
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Base
Description
The product uses memory-mapped I/O registers that act as an interface to hardware functionality
from software, but there is improper access control to those registers.
Extended Description
Software commonly accesses peripherals in a System-on-Chip (SoC) or other device through
a memory-mapped register interface. Malicious software could tamper with any security-critical
hardware data that is accessible directly or indirectly through the register interface, which could
lead to a loss of confidentiality and integrity.
Relationships
The table(s) below shows the weaknesses and high level categories that are related to this
weakness. These relationships are defined as ChildOf, ParentOf, MemberOr and give insight to
similar items that may exist at higher and lower levels of abstraction. In addition, relationships such
as PeerOf and CanAlsoBe are defined to show similar weaknesses that may want to be explored.
