An attacker should impersonate PubNub and answer an HTTPS GET request to trigger this vulnerability. A strcpy overflows the buffer insteon_pubnub.channel_ak, which has a size of 16 bytes. An attacker can send an arbitrarily long \"ak\" parameter in order to exploit this vulnerability.","published":"2018-08-23T15:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T01:06:11.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"talos-cna@cisco.com","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-119"],"affected":["insteon/hub 2245-222 firmware"],"epss":{"score":0.01879,"percentile":0.79332,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.88%).
