Overall we at Dark Mentor do consider the use of VSCs granting the capability to read and write memory, flash, or registers to be bad security design. It’s bad design for Espressif the same as it’s bad design for Broadcom, Texas Instruments, and any other vendor that uses it. This issue is now being tracked as CVE-2025-27840.
