Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: High
Integrity: None
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either: the attacker exploits the vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console), or remotely (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., tricking a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
Attack Complexity: High: A successful attack depends on conditions beyond the attacker's control. That is, a successful attack cannot be accomplished at will, but requires the attacker to invest in some measurable amount of effort in preparation or execution against the vulnerable component before a successful attack can be expected. For example, a successful attack may require an attacker to: gather knowledge about the environment in which the vulnerable target/component exists; prepare the target environment to improve exploit reliability; or inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim in order to read and/or modify network communications (e.g., a man in the middle attack).
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 29 Jul 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Organizations and users should immediately verify the version of the SwitchBot app installed on their devices and update to a version beyond V9.12 once a patch is released by the vendor. Until an official patch is available, users should minimize the risk by restricting physical and local access to devices running the vulnerable app. This includes enforcing strong device-level authentication, encrypting device storage, and avoiding the use of shared or public devices for controlling SwitchBot products. Additionally, organizations should monitor for any unusual access patterns or attempts to access application logs on managed devices. Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions can be configured to restrict access to app data directories and enforce security policies. Developers and security teams should advocate for the vendor to implement secure logging practices, such as redacting sensitive information from logs and using secure storage mechanisms. Regular audits of application logs and security reviews of mobile apps used within the organization are recommended to detect similar issues proactively.

Description

"SwitchBot" App for iOS/Android contains an insertion of sensitive information into log file vulnerability in versions V6.24 through V9.12. If this vulnerability is exploited, sensitive user information may be exposed to an attacker who has access to the application logs.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability depends largely on the use of SwitchBot devices and the associated mobile app within their environments. SwitchBot products are popular in smart home and office automation, often used to control physical devices remotely. Exposure of sensitive information through logs could lead to unauthorized access to these devices, potentially compromising physical security or privacy. In corporate environments where employees use SwitchBot apps on corporate devices, sensitive information leakage could extend to user credentials or tokens that might be reused or leveraged in broader attacks. Although the vulnerability requires local access to the device or logs, the risk increases in scenarios where devices are shared, lost, or compromised by malware that can access application data. The confidentiality breach could also expose personal user data, leading to privacy violations under GDPR regulations, which are stringent in Europe. The medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is not critical, it poses a tangible risk that could be exploited in targeted attacks or combined with other vulnerabilities for greater impact.
