Wi-Fi password disclosure via SSID-based derivation
Published Jul 10, 2025 · Updated Sep 19, 2025
Weak password requirements in EcoGuideTAB PV-DR004J and PV-DR004JA all versions allow physically proximate attackers to derive the Wi-Fi password. The units expose an SSID from which the inter-unit Wi-Fi password can be calculated, making the network credential predictable from its identifier. Exposure is limited to roughly 10 meters while the product is awake; access also enables ECHONET Lite air-conditioner commands when that optional function is configured.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
