DDRop Attack Forces Intel TDX Confidential VMs Into Debug Mode and Exposes Memory
KU Leuven and ETH Zurich researchers released DDRop PoC hardware that forces Intel TDX confidential VMs into debug mode and exposes plaintext memory.
Researchers from KU Leuven, ETH Zurich, Google, and Durham University published proof-of-concept code, hardware designs, and firmware for DDRop, a DDR5 interposer that injects parity errors to drop selected cache-line writebacks. Because Intel TDX, Intel Scalable SGX, and AMD SEV-SNP lack per-line cryptographic freshness, processors decrypt and accept stale DRAM contents as current state. The PoC flips a victim's ATTRIBUTES.DEBUG flag to enable TDX debug mode, then copies victim memory in plaintext and can forge attestation reports. Affected environments include Intel 5th- and 6th-generation Xeon Scalable with TDX; Intel says the attack falls outside its cloud-computing threat model.

New DDRop Attack Breaks Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP With $159 DDR5 Device
DDRop uses a $159 DDR5 RDIMM interposer to silently drop memory writes and break Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP confidential VMs.
Researchers published DDRop, a physical attack built from about $159 in parts that uses a custom DDR5 RDIMM interposer to inject parity errors and silently discard selected cache-line writebacks. Intel TDX, Intel Scalable SGX, and AMD SEV-SNP are affected because they lack per-line cryptographic freshness, so processors can accept stale encrypted data as valid state. The team demonstrated deterministic plaintext copying between pages, malicious Secure EPT entry injection, forcing trust domains into debug mode, and forging attestation measurements. The attack requires privileged host control plus brief physical access, and researchers say no simple software patch exists.

Schneider Electric Easergy, EcoStruxture, PowerLogic, and Saitel Products (Update A)
CISA updated ICSA-26-169-07: CVE-2026-4827 (CVSS 8.3) insufficient entropy enables session hijacking across dozens of Schneider Electric grid products; fixes available.
CISA republished advisory ICSA-26-169-07 (Update A) for CVE-2026-4827, CWE-331 insufficient entropy in session management, scored CVSS 8.3. Affected lines include Easergy MiCOM relays and C5, EcoStruxure Power Automation (EPAS-GTW, EPAS-UI, iPMFLS), EcoStruxure Power Operation, PowerLogic P5/P7/T300/T500, and Saitel DP/T150 RTUs, with dozens of fixed versions listed. Successful exploitation could enable session hijacking and unauthorized operations on systems in energy, chemical, critical manufacturing, and water sectors. Fixes are available; no exploitation is reported.
