Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionNVD
Connected IO v2.1.0 and prior uses a hard-coded username/password pair embedded in their device's firmware used for device communication using MQTT. An attacker who gained access to these credentials is able to connect to the MQTT broker and send messages on behalf of devices, impersonating them. in order to sign and verify JWT session tokens, allowing attackers to sign arbitrary session tokens and bypass authentication.
AnalysisAI
Connected IO v2.1.0 and prior uses a hard-coded username/password pair embedded in their device's firmware used for device communication using MQTT. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Use of Hard-coded Credentials (CWE-798), which allows attackers to gain access using credentials embedded in source code. Connected IO v2.1.0 and prior uses a hard-coded username/password pair embedded in their device's firmware used for device communication using MQTT. An attacker who gained access to these credentials is able to connect to the MQTT broker and send messages on behalf of devices, impersonating them. in order to sign and verify JWT session tokens, allowing attackers to sign arbitrary session tokens and bypass authentication.
