Chinese router manufacturer Zbtlink has become the focus of a significant dispute following the discovery of a concealed remote management mechanism embedded in its proprietary firmware. Researchers at VulnCheck assert that affected devices autonomously establish connections to external servers and permit the remote execution of system-level commands. The company has denied that the component constitutes a backdoor - while simultaneously suspending firmware downloads citing unspecified security vulnerabilities.

Millions of devices read an SD card with one small piece of code called FatFs, and researchers just found seven ways to break it. The worst one hands the whole device to whoever made the card. FatFs does...

Malicious firmware can seize control of a device before Linux starts. It can remain nearly invisible to security software running at the OS level. Researchers at Binarly discovered six vulnerabilities in U-Boot. The open-source bootloader is used by routers, servers, industrial systems, and a vast range of IoT devices. Why U-Boot Flaws Are So Dangerous U-Boot is one of the first components to execute when a device powers on.

Binarly researchers discovered six new flaws in U-Boot that can crash devices or, in two cases, let attackers run code before signature verification during the boot process. The bugs affect firmware used in routers, smart cameras, and data-center server management chips, and vendors are urged to pull the upstream fixes now...

A compact library for managing memory cards and USB drives has become a shared risk point. Researchers at runZero have shown it puts an entire class of embedded devices at risk. Specifically, they disclosed seven vulnerabilities in FatFs, a widely used component in embedded firmware and real-time operating systems. The flaws range from medium to high severity. In total, they affect ESP-IDF, STM32Cube, Zephyr RTOS, MicroPython, ArduPilot, RT-Thread, Mbed, TizenRT, and SWUpdate.
