Update redirection via undisclosed server validation
Published Apr 17, 2023 · Updated Feb 6, 2025
Update-server redirection in Electra Air Central AC Unit Firmware allows adjacent attackers to select an unauthorized update server. The published advisory does not identify the firmware component or explain which update-server validation or network operation accepts attacker-controlled input. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access and can redirect the unit's update connection; whether a malicious server can install firmware or cause other effects is undisclosed.
