CVE-2018-12638
A malicious device name can execute JavaScript on the registered Bose User Account if a speaker has been connected to the app.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.06%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An issue was discovered in the Bose Soundtouch app 18.1.4 for iOS. There is no frontend input validation of the device name. A malicious device name can execute JavaScript on the registered Bose User Account if a speaker has been connected to the app.
