Secret-key extraction via unreseeded DPA countermeasures
Published Feb 9, 2026 · Updated Feb 9, 2026
DPA weakness in Silicon Labs Simplicity SDK before 2025.12.0 allows physically proximate attackers to extract secret keys through power analysis. On Series 2 devices, the DPA countermeasure state is not reseeded under certain conditions, leaving repeated operations insufficiently randomized against differential power analysis. Exploitation requires physical access, high attack complexity, and an additional execution condition; the reported consequence is key disclosure only.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
