5DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was determined in Yi Technology YI Home Camera 2 2.1.1_20171024151200. This affects an unknown function of the component WPA/WPS. Executing a manipulation can lead to use of hard-coded cryptographic key . The attack can only be done within the local network. This attack is characterized by high complexity. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
AnalysisAI
Yi Technology YI Home Camera 2 (version 2.1.1_20171024151200) contains a hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability in its WPA/WPS component that allows attackers to disclose sensitive information through local network access. While the exploit has been publicly disclosed and proof-of-concept code is available, the attack requires high complexity and difficult exploitability, limiting real-world risk to local network environments only. The vendor was notified early but provided no response, leaving users without an official patch.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the WPA/WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Access/Wi-Fi Protected Setup) implementation of the YI Home Camera 2, which handles wireless authentication and pairing protocols. The root cause is classified as CWE-320 (Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key), a critical secure coding weakness where cryptographic keys are embedded directly in firmware or application code rather than derived through secure key exchange mechanisms. This allows an attacker within the local network to bypass WPA/WPS authentication protections by leveraging the known hard-coded key, potentially extracting sensitive device configurations, network credentials, or surveillance data. The affected product YI Home Camera 2 is identified via device-specific version 2.1.1_20171024151200, suggesting this is firmware-level vulnerability affecting the IoT device's wireless security layer.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to upgrade YI Home Camera 2 devices to the latest available firmware version from Yi Technology; however, given the vendor's non-responsiveness to early disclosure notification, official patches may not exist. Users should: (1) Check Yi Technology's support portal for any firmware updates released after version 2.1.1_20171024151200, (2) If running this exact version, isolate affected cameras to a segmented network with strict access controls and firewall rules preventing untrusted devices from connecting to the camera's local network segment, (3) Disable WPA/WPS if alternative secure configuration methods are available, and (4) Consider replacing the device with a modern alternative from a vendor with active security patch support. As an interim control, restrict local network access via MAC filtering and disable remote access features if available through the device's settings.
