CVE-2025-2189

Credential disclosure via plaintext firmware storage

Published Mar 11, 2025 · Updated Mar 11, 2025

Cleartext credential storage in Tinxy smart-device firmware allows physically proximate attackers to extract credentials from all versions. The firmware image stores device credentials as readable plaintext, so static inspection of the extracted binary reveals them without decryption. Exploitation requires physical possession and firmware extraction, and the documented consequence is credential disclosure rather than device modification or service interruption.
