Published Mar 16, 2026 · updated Jun 17, 2026 · philips hue bridge v2 firmware

Philips Hue Bridge HomeKit Pair-Setup Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Philips Hue Bridge. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the hk_hap_pair_storage_put function. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer.
