Meross · Meross Msh30Q · CVE-2023-46889
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Meross MSH30Q version 4.5.23
**Description**
The issue concerns the transmission of sensitive information in cleartext during the device setup phase. When setting up the device, it creates an unprotected Wi-Fi access point and requires the user to enter their Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password to connect to the internet. Although the Wi-Fi password is encrypted, part of the decryption algorithm is publicly available, allowing for the decryption of the password. This affects the transmission of the Wi-Fi password and name between the device and the mobile application over the Wi-Fi network.
**Recommendations**
For Meross MSH30Q version 4.5.23, consider changing the Wi-Fi network password and SSID after the initial setup to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the device's setup phase to trusted networks only until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
