CWE-1276 Hardware Child Block Incorrectly Connected to Parent System

Signals between a hardware IP and the parent system design are incorrectly connected.

• Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability: Varies by Context — This may cause security risks. For example, if the IP should only be reset by a system-wide hard reset, but instead the reset input is connected to a software-triggered debug mode reset (which is also asserted during a hard reset), integrity of data inside the IP can be violated.

• [Testing] System-level verification may be used to ensure that components are correctly connected and that design security requirements are not violated due to interactions between various IP blocks.
