Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-1301

Weakness Allowed

Insufficient or Incomplete Data Removal within Hardware Component

Abstraction: Base · Status: Incomplete

API response cwe.mitre.org

The product's data removal process does not completely delete all data and potentially sensitive information within hardware components.

Mapping guidance

This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.

Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Apply blinding or masking techniques to implementations of cryptographic algorithms.

Mitigation
Implementation

Alter the method of erasure, add protection of media, or destroy the media to protect the data.

CAPEC-37: Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data

An attacker examines a target system to find sensitive data that has been embedded within it. This information can reveal confidential contents, such as account numbers or individual keys/credentials that can be used as an intermediate step in a larger attack.
