CWE-1245 Improper Finite State Machines in Hardware Logic
A state machine that ignores some inputs can be pushed into an undefined state. CWE-1245 shows the missing default case and why it causes crashes and privilege bugs.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

Debug and test ports often have several access levels. CWE-1244 covers assigning the wrong level to an internal asset and what that exposes at boot.
Root keys and manufacturing data stored in fuses can leak through debug access. CWE-1243 shows how to cut the debug path to the registers that hold them.
Hidden switches meant for failure analysis can become attacker entry points. CWE-1242 explains chicken bits and how to keep them out of shipped devices.
A pseudo-random generator with a short, guessable pattern breaks any key or token built on it. CWE-1241 shows the hardware and PHP versions of the problem.
Custom, outdated or non-compliant crypto fails quietly. CWE-1240 explains how risky primitives get in, how to spot them and what to use instead.
