CVE-2025-59104

HIGHCVSS 7/10EPSS 0.17%

Last modified

CVE-2025-59104 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7/10 on the CVSS scale. 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. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

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.
