ESF-IDF is the Espressif Internet of Things (IOT) Development Framework. The BluFi example bundled in ESP-IDF was vulnerable to memory overflows in two areas: Wi-Fi credential handling and Diffie–Hellman key exchange. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.4.1, 5.3.3, 5.1.6, and 5.0.9.
Espressif Esp idf v5.3.0 is vulnerable to Insecure Permissions resulting in Authentication bypass. In the reconnection phase, the device reuses the session key from a previous connection session, creating an opportunity for attackers to execute security bypass attacks.
