Attackers can use the extracted secret to craft arbitrary JWT tokens and authenticate to the MQTT broker without legitimate credentials, gaining unauthorized access to the device's mesh networking interface.","published":"2026-08-19T15:18:02.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-27T11:10:00.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"disclosure@vulncheck.com","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":9.3,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-798"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00534,"percentile":0.44826,"date":"2026-10-26","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 (0.53%).
