New vulnerabilities were discovered in LG TVs that would allow unauthorized access to the devices’ root systems, potentially exposing thousands of devices worldwide.
The discovery, made as part of Bitdefender’s ongoing audit of popular Internet of Things (IoT) hardware, focuses on vulnerabilities within WebOS versions 4 through 7 utilized in LG TVs.
The identified issues permit unauthorized access to the TV’s root system by bypassing the authorization mechanism. Despite being intended for LAN access only, over 91,000 devices exposing this service to the internet have been identified through Shodan, an internet-connected device search engine.
