WLAN Firmware Downloads Use Unencrypted HTTP

Affected Products and Remediation

Most COROS watches and bike computers (WLAN firmware download functionality); tested version: PACE 3 ≤ 3.0808.0. Remediation: update the watch firmware to the official security patch version.

Vulnerability Description and Impact

The watch uses unencrypted HTTP to download firmware files over WLAN, leaving the communication unencrypted. An attacker on the same network can eavesdrop on the downloaded content and carry out a man-in-the-middle attack.

Mitigation Measures

Update your watch firmware to the latest version and use a trusted network for firmware updates. Do not obtain or install firmware through untrusted networks or unofficial channels.
