CVE Catalog

CVE-2025-59104

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The vulnerability requires physical access to the device. An attacker can solder test leads to the debug footprint or use a Tag-Connect cable to access the bootloader and modify kernel command line, leading to a root shell.

Risk Assessment

The risk is high if devices are physically accessible to unauthorized individuals. An attacker can gain full control over the device, potentially compromising system and data integrity.

Recommendation

Recommend restricting physical access to devices and securing the debug interface (e.g., by covering solder points, using glue, or enabling bootloader protections such as signed kernel images).

Original NVD description (English source)

With physical access to the device and enough time an attacker is able to solder test leads to the debug footprint (or use the 6-Pin tag-connect cable). Thus, the attacker gains access to the bootloader, where the kernel command line can be changed. An attacker is able to gain a root shell through this vulnerability.
