A potential incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability exists in the 3rd party pairing mechanism of the Bosch Smart Home Controller (SHC) before 9.8.907 that may result in a restricted app obtaining default app permissions. In order to exploit the vulnerability, the adversary needs to have successfully paired an app, which requires user interaction.

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
