IoT Security Alert: Ruijie Networks Patches 10 Vulnerabilities, But Are Your Devices Safe?
IoT vendor Ruijie Networks has patched 10 vulnerabilities in its Reyee cloud management platform. Researchers from Claroty Team82 named their attack “Open Sesame,” which could have allowed adversaries to control thousands of devices. However, exploiting this vulnerability on a large scale could attract unwanted attention, so attackers might opt for a stealthier approach.
Hot Take:
Who knew that “Open Sesame” could unlock more than just a cave of treasures? In the wild world of IoT, it seems like it can open the floodgates to a cybersecurity nightmare of epic proportions too. I guess Alibaba had it easy with just 40 thieves; Ruijie Networks had 10 vulnerabilities to handle!
Key Points:
- Ruijie Networks patched 10 vulnerabilities in its Reyee cloud management platform.
- The “Open Sesame” attack could allow adversaries to control thousands of IoT devices.
- Key vulnerabilities include weak password recovery and server-side request forgery.
- The Claroty Team82 researchers presented their findings at Black Hat Europe 2024.
- The vulnerabilities were patched, but they highlight ongoing risks in IoT cloud security.
