CWE-1329: Reliance on Component That is Not Updateable

Description:
The product contains a component that cannot be updated or patched in order to remove vulnerabilities or significant bugs.

Extended Description:
If the component is discovered to contain a vulnerability or critical bug, but the issue cannot be fixed using an update or patch, then the product's owner will not be able to protect against the issue.  The only option might be replacement of the product, which could be too financially or operationally expensive for the product owner.  As a result, the inability to patch or update can leave the product open to attacker exploitation or critical operation failures. This weakness can be especially difficult to manage when using ROM, firmware, or similar components that traditionally have had limited or no update capabilities.
			   
			   
			    In industries such as healthcare, "legacy"
			    devices can be operated for decades.  As a
			    US task force report [REF-1197] notes, "the inability
			    to update or replace equipment has both
			    large and small health care delivery
			    organizations struggle with numerous
			    unsupported legacy systems that cannot

Consequences:
  - Confidentiality: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity

Detection methods:
  - Architecture or Design Review: Check the consumer or maintainer documentation, the architecture/design documentation, or the original requirements to ensure that the documentation includes details for how to update the firmware.

Mitigations:
  - [Requirements] Specify requirements that each component should be updateable, including ROM, firmware, etc.
  - [Architecture and Design] Design the product to allow for updating of its components. Include the external infrastructure that might be necessary to support updates, such as distribution servers.
  - [Architecture and Design] With hardware, support patches that can be programmed in-field or during manufacturing through hardware fuses. This feature can be used for limited patching of devices after shipping, or for the next batch of silicon devices manufactured, without changing the full device ROM.
  - [Implementation] Implement the necessary functionality to allow each component to be updated.

Demonstrative examples:
A refrigerator has an Internet interface for the official purpose of alerting the manufacturer when that refrigerator detects a fault. Because the device is attached to the Internet, the refrigerator is a target for hackers who may wish to use the device other potentially more nefarious purposes.

The refrigerator has no means of patching and is hacked, becoming a spewer of email spam.
The device automatically patches itself and provides considerable more protection against being hacked.

A System-on-Chip (SOC) implements a Root-of-Trust (RoT) in ROM to boot secure code. However, at times this ROM code might have security vulnerabilities and need to be patched. Since ROM is immutable, it can be impossible to patch.
ROM does not have built-in application-programming interfaces (APIs) to patch if the code is vulnerable. Implement mechanisms to patch the vulnerable ROM code.

Real-world examples:
  - CVE-2022-34381: Java-based SDK for TLS has an unmaintained third-party component with a critical vulnerability
  - CVE-2020-9054: Chain: network-attached storage (NAS) device has a critical OS command injection (CWE-78) vulnerability that is actively exploited to place IoT devices into a botnet, but some products are "end-of-sup
