CVE-2019-14238
Status: ModifiedMedium (6.6)—
On STMicroelectronics STM32F7 devices, Proprietary Code Read Out Protection (PCROP) (a software IP protection method) can be defeated with a debug probe via the Instruction Tightly Coupled Memory (ITCM) bus.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 6.6
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.40%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 32
- Score date: 10/6/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
