Medium CVSS 5.6

A bug exists in the API, mesh_node_power_off(), which fails to copy the contents of the Replay Protection List (RPL) from RAM to NVM before powering down, resulting in the ability to replay unsaved messages. Note that as of June 2024, the Gecko SDK was renamed to the Simplicity SDK, and the versioning scheme was changed from Gecko SDK vX.Y.Z to Simplicity SDK YYYY.MM.Patch#.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
