Ecobee Ecobee4 4.2.0.171 devices can be forced to deauthenticate and connect to an unencrypted Wi-Fi network with the same SSID, even if the device settings specify use of encryption such as WPA2, as long as the competing network has a stronger signal. An attacker must be able to set up a nearby SSID, similar to an "Evil Twin" attack.

Hardcoded default root credentials exist on the ecobee3 lite 4.5.81.200 device. This allows a threat actor to gain access to the password-protected bootloader environment through the serial console.

A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists on the ecobee3 lite 4.5.81.200 device in the HomeKit Wireless Access Control setup process. A threat actor can exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service, forcing the device to reboot via a crafted HTTP request.

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists on the ecobee3 lite 4.5.81.200 device in the HKProcessConfig function of the HomeKit Wireless Access Control setup process. A threat actor can exploit this vulnerability to force the device to connect to a SSID or cause a denial of service.
