Technical details

The vulnerability (CWE-798) involves the use of hardcoded credentials within the Gardyn mobile application and device firmware. These credentials facilitate access to production storage containers (such as Azure IoT Hub or similar cloud storage) but lack adequate permission limiting and do not expire. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can extract these credentials from the application or firmware to gain unauthorized access to cloud-based storage. This could lead to the exposure of user information, including plant photos and demographic data (name, address, phone number). Gardyn has remediated the issue by updating the Mobile App to version 2.11.0, the Cloud API to 2.12.2026, and device firmware to version 627 or later.

Affected products

  • Gardyn Mobile Application < 2.11.0
  • Gardyn Cloud API < 2.12.2026
  • Gardyn Home Firmware < 627
  • Gardyn Studio Firmware < 627
