A critical vulnerability (CVE-2023-49722) has been disclosed in Bosch BCC100 thermostats affecting firmware versions 1.7.0 – HD 4.13.22; the flaw in the device Wi‑Fi microcontroller can allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands, replace the operating system with a rogue firmware or brick the device, enabling backdoors and potential network pivoting. Bitdefender reported the issue and Bosch has issued patches; recommended mitigations include applying firmware updates and isolating IoT devices on segmented networks.
