Meari IoT Cloud Platform OpenAPI Service
Meari IoT cloud OpenAPI flaws let authenticated users reconfigure others' devices and read device credentials.
Missing Authorization in Meari IoT Cloud OpenAPI
The Meari IoT Cloud Platform OpenAPI Service has a missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) that lets any authenticated user read the complete device shadow of any device by supplying that device's ID. The service does not check that the requester owns or is otherwise related to the target device. A successful call discloses sensitive shadow data, including device credentials, owner details, network information, and telemetry, with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact. The issue affects users and devices on the Meari IoT cloud OpenAPI; affected version ranges are not stated in the advisory. It is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept is known.
What to do: Treat any Meari cloud account as able to read another device's full shadow if the device ID is known, and restrict who can call the OpenAPI and which device IDs those calls may use. Rotate device credentials and review owner, network, and telemetry data for devices that may have been queried, and apply the vendor or ICS-CERT fix as soon as a patched OpenAPI build is published. Until then, monitor OpenAPI access logs for device-shadow reads where the caller has no relationship to the target device.

Order-of-magnitude estimate by the model from install counts, market share and public scan data it knows; verify before quoting.
The Meari IoT Cloud Platform OpenAPI Service is vulnerable to an authorization flaw that allows authenticated users to access the complete device shadow of any device by specifying its device ID. This vulnerability exposes sensitive information, such as device credentials, owner details, network data, and telemetry, without verifying any relationship between the requester and the target device.
