CVE-2023-43636

21
FAUCET Score

CVE-2023-43636 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting Linux Foundation EVE OS, specifically its "measured boot" mechanism. An attacker with local access can modify the root filesystem by repackaging the SquashFS, bypassing the measured boot's integrity checks and gaining full control over the system and access to encrypted data. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.8 (High) due to its low attack complexity and significant impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, the issue was partially addressed in later commits.
