CVE-2025-25201 - Nitrokey 3 PIV Key Authentication Bypass
CVE ID : CVE-2025-25201 Published : Feb. 12, 2025, 7:15 p.m. | 2 hours, 29 minutes ago Description : Nitrokey 3 Firmware is the the firmware of Nitrokey 3 USB keys. For release 1.8.0, and test releases with PIV enabled prior to 1.8.0, the PIV application could accept invalid keys for authentication of the admin key. This could lead to compromise of the integrity of the data stored in the application. An attacker without access to the proper administration key would be able to generate new keys and overwrite certificates. Such an attacker would not be able to read-out or extract existing private data, nor would they be able to gain access to cryptographic operations that would normally require PIN-based authentication. The issue is fixed in piv-authenticator 0.3.9, and in Nitrokey's firmware 1.8.1. Severity: 4.0 | MEDIUM Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more...
