DescriptionCVE.org

arduino-TuyaOpen before version 1.2.1 contains a single-byte buffer overflow vulnerability in the WiFiMulti component. When the victim's smart hardware connects to an attacker-controlled AP hotspot, the attacker can exploit the overflow to execute arbitrary code on the affected embedded device.

AnalysisAI

Single-byte buffer overflow vulnerability in the WiFiMulti component of arduino-TuyaOpen (versions before 1.2.1) that allows remote code execution when IoT devices connect to attacker-controlled WiFi access points. This affects Tuya's Arduino library used in smart home devices, with a CVSS score of 8.4, though the local attack vector (AV:L) suggests physical proximity is required despite the remote exploitation capability described.

Access
Victim device connects to attacker-controlled AP
Exploit
Malicious WiFi SSID sent to device
Execution
Single-byte overflow in WiFiMulti parser
Impact
Arbitrary code execution on embedded device

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Victim's Arduino device running arduino-TuyaOpen before 1.2.1 must connect to attacker-controlled WiFi access point broadcasting crafted SSID payload targeting WiFiMulti component. Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Despite the high CVSS score (8.4), the real-world risk presents contradictions. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker sets up a malicious WiFi access point mimicking a legitimate network name. When a vulnerable smart device attempts to connect to this AP through the WiFiMulti component, the attacker sends specially crafted data that triggers the single-byte buffer overflow, allowing arbitrary code execution on the embedded device. …
Remediation Update arduino-TuyaOpen to version 1.2.1 or later, which contains the fix for this vulnerability. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all systems using arduino-TuyaOpen library versions before 1.2.1 and document deployment locations. …
