Security researchers have uncovered a significant vulnerability in YubiKeys, specifically targeting the YubiKey 5 Series. This vulnerability, identified as a side-channel attack, allows attackers to clone these devices by extracting the secret keys stored within them.

The attack exploits a flaw in the Infineon cryptographic library used in the secure elements of these devices, which are widely regarded as robust authentication tools.
