CVE-2025-65823
📋 TL;DR
The Meatmeet Pro device contains hardcoded Wi-Fi credentials in its firmware, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to the vendor's Wi-Fi network if they obtain these credentials and locate the physical network. This also enables attackers in close proximity during initial setup to force the device to connect to malicious access points by mimicking the hardcoded SSID and password.
💻 Affected Systems
- Meatmeet Pro
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of vendor's internal network, data exfiltration, lateral movement to other systems, and potential supply chain attacks.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to vendor's Wi-Fi network, network reconnaissance, and potential man-in-the-middle attacks against connected devices.
If Mitigated
Limited to physical proximity attacks during device setup, with minimal impact if proper network segmentation and monitoring are in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires extracting firmware credentials and either physical proximity to target Wi-Fi or device setup location. Public documentation available on GitHub.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None known
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Contact vendor for firmware update that removes hardcoded credentials and implements secure credential management.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Firmware Analysis and Credential Removal
linuxExtract firmware, identify and remove hardcoded credentials, then reflash device with modified firmware
Requires specialized tools: esptool.py for ESP32 extraction, binwalk for firmware analysis, hex editor for credential removal
Network Isolation
allIsolate affected devices on separate VLAN with strict firewall rules and network monitoring
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Physically isolate affected devices from critical networks and monitor for unauthorized Wi-Fi connections
- Change all Wi-Fi network credentials that match the hardcoded SSID/password found in firmware
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Extract device firmware using esptool.py, analyze with binwalk/strings for hardcoded SSID and password patternsCheck Version:
No standard version check command available for embedded devicesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify new firmware does not contain the original hardcoded credentials and implements secure credential storage📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unexpected device connections to known hardcoded SSID
- Multiple failed Wi-Fi connection attempts from unknown devices
Network Indicators:
- Devices attempting to connect to SSID matching hardcoded credentials
- Unauthorized MAC addresses on vendor Wi-Fi networks
