PSA: time to recycle your old Wemo smart plugs (if you haven’t already)
If you’re still using one of these smart plugs, the team recommends avoiding exposure of the Wemo plug’s UPnP ports to the internet and segmenting your network so that they’re isolated from Wi-Fi-connected devices with more sensitive information like your computer or phone. Those are generally good steps to try with internet-connected IoT devices in general, though it’s not a surefire solution in every case: with certain devices, you could lose some or all of their functionality.
After initial publication of this story, Belkin spokesperson Cassie Pineda said the vulnerability will be addressed, and added that the company does not believe it could be exploited outside of a user’s local network, contrary to Sternum’s thinking. While not every smart plug will be wide open to the internet, Sternum raises the possibility this flaw could be exploited remotely using cloud controls:
While this wasn’t in the scope of our research, from what we have gathered, it appears that this vulnerability could be triggered via the Cloud interface . This further highlights the need for the abovementioned steps, as the Wemo Cloud infrastructure could be used as a potential attack vector.
