Description
CVE-2026-3558 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Philips Hue Bridge version 1.73.1973146020 that allows network-adjacent attackers to bypass authentication. The flaw exists in the HomeKit Accessory Protocol service, which listens on TCP port 8080 and does not require authentication before granting access to critical functions. This missing authentication can be exploited without user interaction and can lead to unauthorized control of the device. No patch or official fix information is currently provided. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
