Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-300. Sunshine is a self-hosted game stream host for Moonlight. Clients that experience a MITM attack during the pairing process may inadvertantly allow access to an unintended client rather than failing authentication due to a PIN validation error.

This allows access to the certificate belonging to the attacker. Affected products include: Lizardbyte Sunshine.
