Cleartext transmission of sensitive information in Azure IoT Explorer allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.
What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability? This vulnerability could allow an attacker on the same network to view sensitive data sent through the application’s unencrypted HTTP connection. Depending on how the application is used, this may include device connection information, authentication tokens, request data, file paths, and other information transmitted between the application and the IoT Hub. An attacker who intercepts this data may also be able to obtain device connection strings that could allow them to impersonate a device in the customer’s IoT environment.
