<div dir="ltr">Looks like the company did originally call it a backdoor, but have since re-termed as a "hidden feature". That youtube showed a screenshot of this page <a href="https://www.tarlogic.com/news/backdoor-esp32-chip-infect-ot-devices/">https://www.tarlogic.com/news/backdoor-esp32-chip-infect-ot-devices/</a> where the title said backdoor. The addendum at the bottom says "could facilitate supply chain attacks, the concealment of backdoors in
the chipset, or the execution of more sophisticated attacks" but i think that guy on YouTube is right - this is going to be a lot of pain for a lot of tech teams of esp32-based products to do damage-control and education with their management and customers.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Mar 9, 2025 at 11:30 AM Pete Soper via TriEmbed <<a href="mailto:triembed@triembed.org">triembed@triembed.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
