An issue was discovered in Espressif ESP-IDF 2.x and 3.x before 3.0.6 and 3.1.x before 3.1.1. Insufficient validation of input data in the 2nd stage bootloader allows a physically proximate attacker to bypass secure boot checks and execute arbitrary code, by crafting an application binary that overwrites a bootloader code segment in processsegment in components/bootloadersupport/src/espimageformat.c. The attack is effective when the flash encryption feature is not enabled, or if the attacker finds a different vulnerability that allows them to write this binary to flash memory.

Espressif ESP-IDF 2.x, 3.0.x through 3.0.9, 3.1.x through 3.1.7, 3.2.x through 3.2.3, 3.3.x through 3.3.2, and 4.0.x through 4.0.1 has a Buffer Overflow in BluFi provisioning in btcblufirecvhandler function in blufiprf.c. An attacker can send a crafted BluFi protocol Write Attribute command to characteristic 0xFF01. With manipulated packet fields, there is a buffer overflow.
