Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
CIQ API versions 3.0.0 through 4.1.7
Description
The issue concerns the
Toybox.Cryptography.Cipher.initialize API method, which does not validate its parameters. This lack of validation can lead to buffer overflows when copying data, potentially allowing a malicious application to hijack the execution of the device's firmware by calling the API method with specially crafted parameters.Recommendations
For CIQ API versions 3.0.0 through 4.1.7, consider disabling the
Toybox.Cryptography.Cipher.initialize API method until a patch is available to prevent potential buffer overflows and hijacking of the device's firmware execution. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
