CVE-2023-33383
CVE-2023-33383
While Shelly devices connect to the internet, you're right that this flaw uses the Wi-Fi access point. However, other vulnerabilities can potentially work through internet access if the device is connected, for example:

Security
Home Assistant takes its security seriously. This page contains information about how we handle security issues, how to report them, and also information on past security issues.
That's not true. Any internet connected technology can be hacked. In this story, the Gen4 Shelly devices leave their Wi-Fi access points permanently active, allowing full admin control.
Home assistant tech is no different:

Yea, it was infuriating. A technician also showed up to install the "required Amazon Alexa devices" in the apartment. π«¨
That was a big "No" from me and I immediately started looking for a new place.

It's so disgusting! What happened to consent?
I had to move into a "smart apartment" once for work. Every apt was REQUIRED to use Ring doorbells. I got notifications all day showing me everyone that came or went. Neighbors would post Ring videos on NextDoor making fun of people. I moved ASAP!

Seriously. Many of them have major vulnerabilities from day 1, but the situation gets even worse when the manufacturers stop releasing security updates for them a couple of years later. Next thing you know, your smart washing machine is part of a botnet.

That's a great point though. If they don't trust their product enough to insure the loss if it fails, why should I put any trust into it?

Seriously. It's stupid on so many levels.
It's stupid that anyone would trust their home defense to something like this.
And it's stupid that a company making products like this would leave them wide open like that.
