Expired Certs, Expired Laughs: iSTAR’s Hilarious Communication Fail!
Attention, iSTAR users! Your certificates might be having an existential crisis. The improper validation of certificate expiration could leave your devices speechless at the worst possible moment. So, upgrade to TLS 1.3 or download new certificates faster than you can say “improper validation.” Because nothing says secure like a well-timed upgrade!

Hot Take:
Johnson Controls’ iSTAR series is experiencing an identity crisis, battling it out with expired certificates like a teenager with a fake ID at a nightclub. Who knew that cybersecurity could be so much like managing a rebellious teen? The real risk here is that the systems might give you the silent treatment if you don’t update those certificates.
Key Points:
- Improper validation of certificate expiration in iSTAR devices.
- Potential for failed communication once certificates expire.
- Affected products include iSTAR eX, Edge, Ultra LT, Ultra, Ultra SE.
- Mitigation involves upgrading certificates and systems.
- Exploitation risk is low, but proactive measures are encouraged.
