CVE-2023-43636: EVE Doesn't Protect Rootfs

February 4, 2026

Measured boot validates BIOS, grub, kernel cmdline, and initrd but not the entire rootfs. Thus, an attacker can create an EVE-OS rootfs squashfs image with some files modified and take out the disk and replace the existing rootfs image without that being detected by measure boot and remote attestation.
