Unauthenticated device control via unverified serial numbers
Published Jan 3, 2026 · Updated Jan 3, 2026
Improper access control in Petlibro Smart Pet Feeder Platform 1.7.31 and earlier allows remote attackers to manipulate devices over the network. Device-control APIs accept arbitrary device serial numbers and perform requested actions without verifying that the caller owns the device. No authentication or user interaction is required; exposed actions include changing feeding schedules, triggering feeds, viewing camera streams, and modifying settings.
