Shark Vacuum flaw exposed remote device-control risk in an AWS region

Colleagues, here is a cybersecurity note worth attention. A researcher found that a vulnerability in Shark Vacuum could allow an attacker to control other devices in the same AWS region.

At the core of the issue are overly broad certificate permissions and the Exec_Command function in the cloud shadow.

Potentially affected assets include a camera, room map, and even the Wi‑Fi password.

The fix should come from the cloud side: tighter policy controls and certificate reissuance.

Why this matters: such flaws show how dangerous misconfigured IoT policies can be and why cloud security is critical across entire device lines.
