Unauthenticated configuration access via shared SMS password
Published Feb 6, 2025 · Updated Feb 10, 2025
Hard-coded credentials in Forever KidsWatch KW50 and KW60 firmware allow remote attackers to alter smartwatch settings through SMS. The SMS command parser accepts the shared password 123456 instead of a device-specific credential for privileged configuration commands. Exploitation requires knowledge of the smartwatch's phone number and cellular reachability, enabling configuration disclosure or unauthorized settings changes.
