Title
Hardcoded Cryptographic Key Information Disclosure Vulnerability on TP-Link Kasa EC70 and EC71
Summary
Kasa EC71 v4 and EC70 v4 firmware contains a static cryptographic private key stored in a read-only filesystem
that is shared across devices. An
attacker with access to the firmware image can extract the embedded key.
Successful
exploitation may allow an unauthenticated attacker on the same network to use
this key in the web management service, compromising the confidentiality of
encrypted communications. This may enable passive decryption of traffic or
active man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks

Title
Information Disclosure Vulnerability in Local Discovery Response in TP-Link Kasa EC70 and EC71
Summary
An information disclosure vulnerability was identified in TP-Link Kasa EC70 v4 and EC71 v4 in the local discovery mechanism, which exposes
sensitive geolocation information without requiring authentication. This issue
allows an attacker on the same local network to retrieve geolocation-related
data through crafted responses.
The
vulnerability impacts confidentiality only, with no evidence of integrity of
availability impact.

Hardcoded Cryptographic Key Information Disclosure Vulnerability on TP-Link Kasa EC70 and EC71
Summary
Kasa EC71 v4 and EC70 v4 firmware contains a static cryptographic private key stored in a read-only filesystem
that is shared across devices. An
attacker with access to the firmware image can extract the embedded key.
Successful
exploitation may allow an unauthenticated attacker on the same network to use
this key in the web management service, compromising the confidentiality of
encrypted communications. This may enable passive decryption of traffic or
active man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks
