I remember seeing a pen-test that was done way back in the mid aughts that identified a bunch of vulnerabilities. It was so long ago, I wonder if they were mitigated or just given lip service.

EDIT: I found it. Pretty interesting read: https://cure53.de/pentest-report_nitrokey.pdf

This penetration test against the Nitrokey Storage firmware, as well as the Nitrokey desktop app, was performed by a team of three penetration-testers and took eleven days in total to complete. The test is part of a larger series of security assessments. In later phases, security-focused assignments will include tests against the hardware itself, alongside detailed look into other models of the Nitrokey and its accompanying applications and tools.
