CVE-2024-34454
CVE-2024-34454 affects the Nintendo Wii U, allowing man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Attackers can forge SSL certificates, impersonating trusted Root CAs, due to a flawed verification process. The system only checks if a CA is known, overlooking signature validation and CA details. This vulnerability, present in Wii U OS 5.5.5, makes it easier to intercept and manipulate network traffic. Although the CVSS score is 7.4, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 34, indicating a lower immediate risk than some other vulnerabilities, even though it has been tagged as "In The Wild". However, successful exploitation can lead to data theft or system compromise. The acceptance of '*' as a Common Name further exacerbates the security flaw, making it easier for attackers to exploit. It is important to monitor this vulnerability, especially in environments where Wii U consoles are connected to networks handling sensitive data.
