CVE-2024-48974

CVE-2024-48974 — Life2000 Ventilator does not perform proper file integrity checks when adopting firmware updates

The ventilator does not perform proper file integrity checks when adopting firmware updates. This makes it possible for an attacker to force unauthorized changes to the device's configuration settings and/or compromise device functionality by pushing a compromised/illegitimate firmware file. This could disrupt the function of the device and/or cause unauthorized information disclosure.
