Unauthorized data access and modification via unauthenticated API
Published Feb 1, 2024 · Updated Jun 6, 2025
Missing authentication in the MachineSense FeverWarn API allows remote attackers to read and modify sensitive information without credentials. The API exposes sensitive read and write operations without verifying the caller's identity, although public sources name no endpoint or request format. The issue affects the ESP32, RaspberryPi, and DataHub RaspberryPi variants; network access is the only reported gate, and no service interruption is described.
