EVE's Debug Functions Unlockable Without Triggering Measured Boot
Date: 2026-02
Affected: go/github.com/lf-edge/eve
Attack vector: auth-bypass
Category: vulnerability-disclosure
Severity: Medium
CVE: CVE-2023-43631
CVE-2023-43633
CWE: CWE-522
CWE-922
CVSS: 5.9 (CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:N)

### Impact On boot, Pillar checks for /config/GlobalConfig/global.json and overrides system configuration if present. This allows enabling debug functions like SSH (debug.enable.ssh), USB keyboard (debug.enable.usb), and VNC access (app.allow.vnc) without triggering the measured boot. Thus, a user with physical access can take out the disk and modify the content of this file in the /config partition and then re-insert the disk. ### Patches Fixed in ​​10.1.0 and 9.4.3-lts ### Workarounds None
