Man-in-the-middle control via skipped certificate verification
Published Dec 10, 2025 · Updated Dec 10, 2025
Improper certificate validation in three Aqara Hub firmware builds allows man-in-the-middle attackers to alter CoAP communications. The TLS setup path treats a missing CA-certificate callback as permission to skip SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations and SSL_CTX_set_verify, leaving peer identity unchecked. Network redirection is required, and separate CoAP AES keys are needed to decrypt all payloads or inject device-control commands in Hub M2 4.3.6_0027, Hub M3 4.3.6_0025, and Camera Hub G3 4.1.9_0027.
