AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N
Network-reachable CORS abuse needs no attacker auth (PR:N) but requires a logged-in victim to visit a malicious page (UI:R); scope changes from attacker origin to portal, exposing sensitive data (C:H) with limited write impact (I:L).
Primary rating from Vendor (runZero).

The Aqara Developer Portal (developer.aqara.com) and shared test environments (developer-test.aqara.com, aiot-test.aqara.com) exhibit cross-origin request sharing, which is an instance of "CWE-942: Permissive Cross-domain Policy with Untrusted Domains," and has an estimated CVSS of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N (8.2 High).
AnalysisAI
Cross-origin information disclosure in the Aqara Developer Portal (developer.aqara.com) and its shared test environments (developer-test.aqara.com, aiot-test.aqara.com) allows a malicious website to read authenticated responses from any victim developer who visits it, exposing portal data tied to IoT/smart-home developer accounts. The flaw is a permissive CORS policy (CWE-942) that trusts untrusted origins; runZero disclosed it and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the technique is well-known and trivially scriptable.
Technical ContextAI
The affected systems are Aqara's web-based developer consoles used to manage smart-home/IoT integrations and API credentials. CWE-942 describes a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing configuration that whitelists untrusted domains or reflects the Origin header while also returning Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true, defeating the browser's Same-Origin Policy. When the server accepts an attacker-controlled origin and permits credentialed requests, JavaScript on an attacker-hosted page can perform XHR/fetch calls to the portal using the victim's session cookies and read the responses cross-origin - turning what is normally a server-side trust boundary into a client-side one.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; because these are Aqara-operated SaaS endpoints, remediation is the vendor's responsibility and consists of tightening the Access-Control-Allow-Origin policy on developer.aqara.com, developer-test.aqara.com, and aiot-test.aqara.com to an explicit allowlist of trusted Aqara-owned origins, never reflecting arbitrary Origin headers while Access-Control-Allow-Credentials is true, and ensuring preflight responses do not return wildcard or null origins. Developers using the portal should, until Aqara confirms a fix, log out of the developer console when not actively using it, use a dedicated browser profile for portal access to reduce cross-tab exposure, and avoid clicking untrusted links while authenticated - these are inconvenient but block the user-interaction step the attack depends on.
