firmware vulnerabilities in embedded systems
Firmware vulnerabilities in embedded systems refer to security weaknesses or flaws present in the software code implemented directly on embedded devices, such as smartphones, routers, or medical devices. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access, manipulate functionalities, or launch malicious activities on the embedded system, potentially compromising user privacy and system integrity.
