Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key

Deck Mate 2's firmware update mechanism accepts packages without cryptographic signature verification, encrypts them with a single hard-coded AES key shared across devices, and uses a truncated HMAC for integrity validation. Attackers with access to the update interface - typically via the unit's USB update port - can craft or modify firmware packages to execute arbitrary code as root, allowing persistent compromise of the device's integrity and deck randomization process. Physical or on-premises access remains the most likely attack path, though network-exposed or telemetry-enabled deployments could theoretically allow remote exploitation if misconfigured. The vendor confirmed that firmware updates have been issued to correct these update-chain weaknesses and that USB update access has been disabled on affected units.Show less

The Reolink desktop application uses a hard-coded and predictable AES encryption key to encrypt user configuration files allowing attackers with local access to decrypt sensitive application data stored in %APPDATA%. A different vulnerability than CVE-2025-56801. NOTE: the Supplier's position is that material is not hardcoded and is instead randomly generated on each installation of the application.Show less

The Reolink Desktop Application 8.18.12 contains hardcoded credentials as the Initialization Vector (IV) in its AES-CFB encryption implementation allowing attackers with access to the application environment to reliably decrypt encrypted configuration data. NOTE: the Supplier's position is that material is not hardcoded and is instead randomly generated on each installation of the application.Show less

Agentflow developed by Flowring has an Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit the fixed key to generate verification information, thereby logging into the system as any user. Attacker must first obtain an user ID in order to exploit this vulnerability.Show less

A flaw has been found in code-projects Hospital Management System 1.0. Affected is the function session of the component express-session. This manipulation of the argument secret with the input secret causes use of hard-coded cryptographic key . The attack can be initiated remotely. The attack is considered to have high complexity. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been published and may be used.Show less

Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) uses a hard-coded key to encrypt certain query parameters. Some encrypted parameter values can specify paths to download files, potentially bypassing authentication and authorization, for example, the 'qs' parameter used in '/DownloadWeb/download.aspx'. This key is shared across NIX installations. NIX 2023.3 and 2024.1 limit the use of hard-coded keys.Show less

A vulnerability was identified in CRMEB up to 5.6.1. This affects an unknown function of the component JWT HMAC Secret Handler. Such manipulation of the argument secret with the input default leads to use of hard-coded cryptographic key . It is possible to launch the attack remotely. Attacks of this nature are highly complex. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.Show less

The Flock Safety DetectionProcessing com.flocksafety.android.objects application 6.35.33 for Android (installed on Falcon and Sparrow License Plate Readers and Bravo Edge AI Compute Devices) bundles a Java Keystore (flock_rye.bks) along with its hardcoded password (flockhibiki17) in its code. The keystore contains a private key.Show less

Keysight Ixia Vision has an issue with hardcoded cryptographic material which may allow an attacker to intercept or decrypt payloads sent to the device via API calls or user authentication if the end user does not replace the TLS certificate that shipped with the device. Remediation is available in Version 6.9.1, released on September 23, 2025.Show less

Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Virtual Appliance Host and Application (VA/SaaS deployments) contain an undocumented 'printerlogic' user with a hardcoded SSH public key in '~/.ssh/authorized_keys' and a sudoers rule granting the printerlogic_ssh group 'NOPASSWD: ALL'. Possession of the matching private key gives an attacker root access to the appliance.Show less

The Copypress Rest API plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via copyreap_handle_image() Function in versions 1.1 to 1.2. The plugin falls back to a hard-coded JWT signing key when no secret is defined and does not restrict which file types can be fetched and saved as attachments. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can forge a valid token to gain elevated privileges and upload an arbitrary file (e.g. a PHP script) through the image handler, leading to remote code execution.Show less

Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Virtual Appliance Host prior to version 25.1.102 and Application prior to version 25.1.1413 (VA/SaaS deployments) contain two hardcoded private keys that are shipped in the application containers (printerlogic/pi, printerlogic/printer-admin-api, and printercloud/pi). The keys are stored in clear text under /var/www/app/config/ as keyfile.ppk.dev and keyfile.saasid.ppk.dev. The application uses these keys as the symmetric secret for AES‑256‑CBC encryption/decryption of the “SaaS Id” (external identifier) through the getEncryptedExternalId() / getDecryptedExternalId() methods. Because the secret is embedded in the deployed image, any attacker who can obtain a copy of the Docker image, read the configuration files, or otherwise enumerate the filesystem can recover the encryption key. This vulnerability has been confirmed to be remediated, but it is unclear as to when the patch was introduced.Show less

Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Virtual Appliance Host prior to version 22.0.1026 and Application prior to version 20.0.2702 (only VA deployments) expose an unauthenticated firmware-upload flow: a public page returns a signed token usable at va-api/v1/update, and every Docker image contains the appliance’s private GPG key and hard-coded passphrase. An attacker who extracts the key and obtains a token can decrypt, modify, re-sign, upload, and trigger malicious firmware, gaining remote code execution. This vulnerability has been identified by the vendor as: V-2024-020 — Remote Code Execution.Show less

Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Virtual Appliance Host prior to version 22.0.1049 and Application prior to version 20.0.2786 (VA and SaaS deployments) contain a private SSL key and matching public certificate stored in cleartext. The key belongs to the hostname `pl‑local.com` and is used by the appliance to terminate TLS connections on ports 80/443. Because the key is hardcoded, any attacker who can gain container-level access can simply read the files and obtain the private key. With the private key, the attacker can decrypt TLS traffic, perform man-in-the-middle attacks, or forge TLS certificates. This enables impersonation of the appliance’s web UI, interception of credentials, and unrestricted access to any services that trust the certificate. The same key is identical across all deployed appliances meaning a single theft compromises the confidentiality of every Vasion Print installation. This vulnerability has been identified by the vendor as: V-2024-025 — Hardcoded SSL Certificate & Private Keys.Show less

The use of a hard-coded cryptographic key was discovered in firmware version 3.60 of the Click Plus PLC. The vulnerability relies on the fact that the software contains a hard-coded AES key used to protect the initial messages of a new KOPS session.Show less

Out-of-support Control-M/Agent versions 9.0.18 to 9.0.20 (and potentially earlier unsupported versions) that are configured to use the non-default Blowfish cryptography algorithm use a hardcoded key. An attacker with access to network traffic and to this key could decrypt network traffic between the Control-M/Agent and Server.Show less
