We Corporation Inc. — 4 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- We is registered to MAC prefix
04:E7:7Eand 3 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with04:E7:7E, that block was registered by We — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Four OUI blocks under one org/address indicate genuine company substance beyond a bare shell registration; product/client details are Likely-tier (secondary sources only, primary site unreachable). Do not attribute the Contec CMS8000 backdoor or the unrelated Jeju 'We Corporation' to this entity.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 04:E7:7E, 18:B6:CC, 90:12:A1, or E0:0E:E1 belongs to We Corporation Inc., a South Korean manufacturer of PCB assembly-line test equipment, based on four confirmed IEEE MA-L assignments that all share the same registered Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do address.
We Corporation's product line, marketed as "Check Master Systems" (models CMS-3000, CMS-7000, CMS-8000, CMS-9000), is a family of in-circuit testers used on electronics production lines to detect solder bridges, opens, shorts, and misplaced components on assembled circuit boards. Directory listings name Korean electronics manufacturers, including LG Electronics and Samsung, as clients.
Four separate OUI blocks under one org name and address is itself a substance signal — it rules out a bare shell registration — but the specific networked product or interface that consumes each MAC range could not be independently verified (no teardown, packet capture, or datasheet was found naming a device model to a MAC range). Attempts to fetch the company's own domains (wecorporation.co.kr, wecorp.co.kr) failed, so the product and client claims rest on secondary directory listings (Dun & Bradstreet, GoBizKorea) rather than a primary company-site source.
Two caveats matter for anyone researching this vendor. First, the "CMS-8000" model name collides with an unrelated, unrelated-company product: the Contec Health (China) CMS8000 patient monitor, which carries a documented hardcoded-backdoor and several CVEs — that vulnerability set belongs to Contec, not to We Corporation Inc., and should never be attributed here. Second, a differently-transliterated "We Corporation" (위코퍼레이션), a small Jeju-based hotel/home-network vendor, is a separate legal entity at a different address and is not the IEEE registrant discussed on this page.

- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit OUI); holds 4 IEEE prefixes [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry. NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes no assignment/registration date; any "date registered" on third-party tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

- Founding date
- self-reported 1985 on a company-profile fragment; this is a corporate/directory-sourced founding date, NOT an IEEE OUI registration date [Likely, not to be conflated with registration] — company profile fragment (page8.html), not independently corroborated
- Named clients
- LG Electronics, Samsung (per directory listing content) [Likely] — dnb.com, GoBizKorea
- Security note
- no CVEs/advisories found for We Corporation Inc. or its CMS product line; the "CMS-8000" name collides with the unrelated Contec Health CMS8000 patient-monitor backdoor (CVE-2024-12248, CVE-2025-0626, CVE-2025-0683) — do not attribute [Confirmed] — cisa.gov, thehackernews.com
- Name-ambiguity note
- a separately-transliterated "We Corporation" (위코퍼레이션), a Jeju hotel/home-network vendor at a different address, is a different legal entity and was not used as a source for any claim above [Likely] — Korean business-registry search result
- Related vendors
- none identified
- Analyst note
- four OUI blocks under one org/address rule out a bare single-OUI shell registration, but the primary company domains could not be fetched, so product/client claims rest on secondary directory sources — tagged Likely, not Confirmed. Guard against two name/model collisions when citing this entry: the Contec CMS8000 backdoor and the unrelated Jeju "We Corporation."
