CVE-2023-46889 affects Meross MSH30Q smart devices, specifically firmware version 4.5.23, due to a Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information vulnerability. During device setup, the MSH30Q creates an unprotected Wi-Fi access point where the Wi-Fi network name and password, though partially encrypted, can be intercepted and decrypted by an attacker on the same network. Rated Medium severity (CVSS 5.7), this vulnerability requires an attacker to be in close proximity (Adjacent Network) and relies on user interaction (UI:R) during the setup phase. A successful exploit could lead to high confidentiality impact (C:H) by revealing sensitive Wi-Fi credentials, but has no integrity or availability impact. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available on platforms like Metasploit or ExploitDB. The vulnerability has garnered minimal community discussion or media coverage, indicating low public awareness and a lack of widespread attention.
