EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 8.6 under the CNA's CVSS (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

Kasa EC71 v4 and EC70 v4 firmware contains a static cryptographic private key stored in a read-only filesystem that is shared across devices.  An attacker with access to the firmware image can extract the embedded key. 

Successful exploitation may allow an unauthenticated attacker on the same network to use this key in the web management service, compromising the confidentiality of encrypted communications. This may enable passive decryption of traffic or active man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks
