Discussion

Sony mylo COM-2 SSL Certificate Validation Vulnerability

Sony mylo COM-2 devices are prone to a certificate-validation vulnerability because they fail to properly validate webserver certificates.

This issue affects only the Japanese model of Sony mylo COM-2 devices running firmware versions prior to 1.002.
