Last modified
CVE-2018-3879 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. An exploitable JSON injection vulnerability exists in the credentials handler of video-core's HTTP server of Samsung SmartThings Hub STH-ETH-250 devices with firmware version 0.20.17. The video-core process incorrectly parses the user-controlled JSON payload, leading to a JSON injection which in turn leads to a SQL injection in the video-core database. EPSS estimates a 1.55% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
