Technical details
A weak PRNG seed in the IFTTT pairing token generation allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to derive the pairing token by observing an administrator-initiated pairing session. The attack requires proximity to the wireless network and no credentials, and grants the attacker the ability to authenticate as the IFTTT service and read or modify router settings.
