Lack of Transport Encryption in the public API in Philips Hue Bridge BSB002 SW 1707040932 allows remote attackers to read API keys (and consequently bypass the pushlink protection mechanism, and obtain complete control of the connected accessories) by leveraging the ability to sniff HTTP traffic on the local intranet network.

Weakness

The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.
