Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Milwaukee ONE-KEY Android mobile application uses bearer tokens with an expiration of one year. This bearer token, in combination with a user_id can be used to perform user actions.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Milwaukee ONE-KEY Android application uses bearer tokens with a 1-year expiration for authentication. An attacker who obtains both a valid bearer token and the associated user_id can perform actions as that user for up to one year without needing to re-authenticate. The excessive token lifetime significantly extends the attack window if tokens are intercepted or leaked.

MitigationImplement short-lived bearer tokens (minutes to hours) with a secure refresh token mechanism, and invalidate existing long-lived tokens. Require re-authentication for sensitive operations.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Milwaukee ONE-KEY Android app usage
    Inventory Android devices for the Milwaukee ONE-KEY application installation
    Affected if The Milwaukee ONE-KEY Android app is installed and actively used
  2. Inspect bearer token expiration
    Capture authenticated network traffic from the app and examine the bearer token payload or response headers for expiration metadata
    Affected if Tokens contain expiration timestamps extending approximately 1 year from issuance
  3. Verify token lifetime duration
    Calculate the time difference between token issuance and expiration timestamps observed in traffic
    Affected if The calculated lifetime exceeds several months, confirming the 1-year expiration described in the CVE
  4. Check authentication mechanism
    Review the app's authentication flow during login to identify if refresh tokens are implemented or if only long-lived bearer tokens are used
    Affected if No short-lived token with refresh mechanism is observed; only persistent bearer tokens are issued

A user is affected if they use the Milwaukee ONE-KEY Android app and their authentication tokens are configured with approximately 1-year expiration lifetimes.
