CVE-2024-44097

Google Nest Cam (indoor, Wired) Firmware privilege escalation

9.8 CRITICALEPSS 0.16%
  1. Published2 Oct 2024

Description

According to the researcher: "The TLS connections are encrypted against tampering or eavesdropping. However, the application does not validate the server certificate properly while initializing the TLS connection. This allows for a network attacker to intercept the connection and read the data. The attacker could the either send the client a malicious response, or forward the (possibly modified) data to the real server."
