Authentication bypass via spoofed MAC registration
Published Sep 29, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Authentication bypass in Suculent THiNX Device API before 2.5.0 allows remote attackers to create device identities via spoofed MAC registration. The initial registration path accepts requests without a UDID and trusts a supplied MAC address, allowing a duplicate MAC to receive a new UDID. No credentials are required for that request; duplicate identities can undermine device authentication and ownership checks, while the advisory states that the full impact remains under review.
