#Wemo insight Patch
“As of April 10th, 2019, we have heard of plans for a patch towards the end of the month and are standing by to confirm,” he writes in a blog – but there doesn’t seem to be any hard evidence or a release date yet. Instead, they apparently patched a vulnerability in a different product, which is not even in the market anymore.Īccording to Povolny McAfee publicly disclosed the vulnerability three months later to raise awareness that there is a definite security issue with the WeMo Insight smart plug. Later Cybersecurity firm McAfee suggests that the Belkin WeMo Insight smart plug is vulnerable to malware attacks – and Belkin has taken this issue too lightly even after it was notified in 2016.Įarlier this month, Steve Povolny, McAfee head of advanced threat research came out swinging and said, “He claims that in May 2018 his team warned Belkin of a vulnerability (CVE-2019-6692) that could be exploited by an attacker to turn off the switch, overload it, or connect to the switch’s network to become an entry point to a larger attack.”Īs a matter of fact that though Belkin realized the grave situation they never did anything about it. The bug has been given the CVE-2018-6692 number. The Belkin Wemo Insight still contains the same remote code execution, zero-day vulnerability almost a year after the bug was disclosed. We are trying to highlight how the plug has been vulnerable for over a year, and a fix is yet not been introduced, despite the makers being apprised about the security bug.
Yes, it helps you to turn off your lights and appliances, and you can also monitor them from anywhere. If you own a smart home, then you may probably be aware of Belkin Wemo Insight smart plug.
