Remote light control via missing Origin validation
Published Aug 6, 2025 · Updated Aug 6, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in Elgato Key Light and related light products allows remote attackers to control lights through a malicious webpage. The firmware HTTP server accepts cross-origin POST requests to /elgato/identify on port 9123 without validating the Origin header. A victim must load attacker-controlled script while the browser can reach the device on the local network; repeated requests make the light flash rapidly.
