Hard-coded Administrative Credentials Exposure in Gardyn IoT Hub
CVE-2025-1242 is a credential exposure vulnerability affecting the Gardyn ecosystem in which administrative credentials can be extracted from application API responses, through reverse engineering of the Gardyn mobile application, and through reverse engineering of device firmware. The issue effectively exposes embedded or otherwise recoverable administrative credentials used by the Gardyn IoT Hub. According to the provided advisory context, successful extraction of these credentials can allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to obtain full administrative access to the Gardyn IoT Hub and then control connected devices. The associated weakness classification is CWE-798.
