Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Light & Wonder Deck Mate 2. It has been classified as critical. Affected is some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a missing immutable root of trust in hardware vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-1326. A missing immutable root of trust in the hardware results in the ability to bypass secure boot or execute untrusted or adversarial boot code. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Deck Mate 2 lacks a verified secure-boot chain and runtime integrity validation for its controller and display modules. Without cryptographic boot verification, an attacker with physical access can modify or replace the bootloader, kernel, or filesystem and gain persistent code execution on reboot. This weakness allows long-term firmware tampering that survives power cycles. The vendor indicates that more recent firmware updates strengthen update-chain integrity and disable physical update ports to mitigate related attack avenues.

The weakness was released by Joseph Tartaro. The advisory is shared for download at ioactive.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2025-34502 since 04/15/2025. The exploitability is told to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
