Nuvoton - CWE-305: Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness

An attacker with write access to the SPI-Flash on an NPCM7xx BMC subsystem that uses the Nuvoton BootBlock

reference code can modify the u-boot image header on flash parsed by the BootBlock which could lead to arbitrary code

execution.

Weakness

The authentication algorithm is sound, but the implemented mechanism can be bypassed as the result of a separate weakness that is primary to the authentication error.
