DescriptionNVD

ZTE ZX297520V3 BootROM contains a vulnerability that allows arbitrary memory writes via USB. Attackers can exploit the lack of target address validation in the USB download mode to write data to any location in BootROM runtime memory, thereby overwriting the stack, hijacking the execution flow, bypassing the Secure Boot signature verification mechanism, and achieving unauthorized code execution.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary memory writes via USB in ZTE ZX297520V3 BootROM allow physical attackers with USB access to bypass Secure Boot signature verification and achieve unauthorized code execution by exploiting missing target address validation in USB download mode. The vulnerability requires physical device access and user interaction (device boot into download mode), resulting in a CVSS score of 5.1, but enables complete bypass of cryptographic security mechanisms and Secure Boot protections.
