Title
Unauthenticated Firmware Downgrade in Bitdefender Box v1
Summary
An improper access control vulnerability exists in Bitdefender Box 1 (firmware version 1.3.52.928 and below) that allows an unauthenticated attacker to downgrade the device's firmware to an older, potentially vulnerable version of a Bitdefender-signed firmware. The attack requires Bitdefender BOX to be booted in Recovery Mode and that the attacker be present within the WiFi range of the BOX unit.
