- Check whether you run boneIO Black Debian Images at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.
How to fix
- Fixed in: 1.6.0
Devices upgraded from versions earlier than 1.6.0 retain the published default broker credentials; the owner must manually change the MQTT password via the web panel before upgrading is complete. Devices before version 1.2.0 cannot be upgraded in place and should be re-flashed with version 1.6.0.
Technical details
The vulnerability is use of default credentials (CWE-1392) in the Mosquitto MQTT broker shipped with boneIO black_debian_images versions 1.2.0 to 1.6.0. The same hardcoded credentials are present on every device and are publicly documented, allowing any network-adjacent or remote attacker to authenticate to the broker and publish/subscribe to all topics. An attacker gains full control over MQTT-connected devices and can interfere with Home Assistant automations. Mitigation requires manual credential rotation or upgrading to 1.6.0 where credentials are generated per-device at first boot.
