CVE-2022-38789Network attack vector

Unauthorized Wi-Fi credential changes via object references

Published Sep 15, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Authorization bypass in Airties Smart Wi-Fi before 2020-08-04 allows remote attackers to alter Wi-Fi credentials and map the LAN. The published disclosure identifies an insecure direct object reference but does not name the affected API endpoint, object key, or omitted authorization check. Network access is sufficient and no user interaction is required; exploitation changes the main or guest SSID and PSK and exposes the LAN layout.
