Fails and Fixes with IoT

After nearly 6 years of tearing apart 'internet of things' devices, here's a look at the high level fails that we keep seeing. We're not going to go in to point issues such as Wi-Fi credential leakage and Bluetooth compromise: our blog is littered with those! What are the root issues and what can...

PT-2019-13515

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Arduino versions prior to Rev3 Description The issue allows remote attackers to send data to LEDs directly connected to GPIO pins via a laser, due to LED photosensitivity. Recommendations For Arduino versions prior to Rev3, consider using...

CVE-2019-13991: Undefined Security Weakness

Embedded systems based on Arduino before Rev3 allow remote attackers to send data to LEDs directly connected to GPIO pins via a laser, because of LED photosensitivity...
