A technical paper titled “How Flexible is CXL’s Memory Protection?: Replacing a sledgehammer with a scalpel” was published by researchers at University of Cambridge.
“CXL, a new interconnect standard for cache-coherent memory sharing, is becoming a reality – but its security leaves something to be desired. Decentralized capabilities are flexible and resilient against malicious actors, and should be considered while CXL is under active development.”
