Prevent firmware downgrades
Summary
Devices should have mechanisms that protect their firmware (anti-rollback) from being downgraded.
Description
Attackers may attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in older firmware versions that have been patched in newer releases. Anti-rollback features help to mitigate the risk of exploitation by preventing the installation of outdated and insecure firmware.
