What is CVE-2025-34256?
CVE-2025-34256 is a critical vulnerability in Advantech Co., Ltd. WISE-DeviceOn Server, published on 5 Dec 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Advantech WISE-DeviceOn Server versions prior to 5.4 contain a hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability. The product uses a static HS512 HMAC secret for signing EIRMMToken JWTs across all installations. The server accepts forged JWTs that need only contain a valid email claim, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to generate arbitrary tokens and impersonate any DeviceOn account, including the root super admin. Successful exploitation permits full administrative control of the DeviceOn instance and can be leveraged to execute code on managed agents through DeviceOn’s remote management features.
