Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject HTTP header on the target system.

The weakness exists in the remote servers of Samsung SmartThings Hub due to the hubCore process listens on port 39500 and relays any unauthenticated message to SmartThings' remote servers, which insecurely handle JSON messages. A remote attacker can send an HTTP request and cause partially controlled requests to be generated toward the internal video-core process.
