Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Samsung SmartThings Hub STH-ETH-250 version 0.20.17

Description A JSON injection issue exists in the credentials handler of the video-core's HTTP server, allowing an attacker to send HTTP requests that trigger this issue. The video-core process incorrectly parses user-controlled JSON payload, leading to a JSON injection and subsequently a SQL injection in the video-core database.

Recommendations For version 0.20.17, consider restricting access to the credentials handler of the video-core's HTTP server until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using user-controlled JSON payloads in the affected HTTP endpoint.
