January 15, 2024 at 11:44AM

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in Bosch BCC100 thermostats and Rexroth NXA015S-36V-B smart nutrunners, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code. Bitdefender discovered the BCC100 thermostat flaw, which Bosch addressed in November 2023. Additionally, Rexroth nutrunners have over two dozen vulnerabilities, with patches expected by January 2024. These vulnerabilities could be used by attackers for nefarious activities.
