PSA: Older Wemo Smart Plugs Have Vulnerability That Leaves Them Open to Attack
Basically, the Wemo Mini Smart Plug V2 has a 30 character name limit that can be overwritten, leading to an exploitable memory buffer error. Full details on how the exploit works are available from Sternum.
Belkin told Sternum that it has no plans to update the Wemo Mini Smart Plug V2 because it is at the end of its life after four years and has been replaced with newer models. That leaves many potential Belkin customers vulnerable, as there are likely many of these smart plugs being used in the wild.
Sternum recommends that people prevent the Wemo Mini Smart Plug V2 from accessing the internet and communicating with other devices like the iPhone because of the vulnerability, but the safest bet would be to remove the plugs and replace them with something more secure.

Binance leaves Canada due to stricter crypto rules
Canadians will no longer have access to the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. Binance has announced that it’s withdrawing from the Canadian marketplace due to new stablecoin and investor limits in the country. Back in February, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) released new guidance that gives crypto trading platforms operating in the region 30 days to register or to leave. The crypto firms that decide to register and stay will have to adhere to stricter rules, such as seeking the CSA’s approval before allowing users to buy or deposit stablecoins.
According to CoinDesk, Binance will have to pass authorities’ due diligence checks before it gets approval. The crypto exchange has been under intense scrutiny in North America over the past years. In the US, the DOJ and the Internal Revenue Service have been looking into reports that Binance is being used for money laundering schemes since 2021. It’s also reportedly under investigation for allowing users to bypass sanctions against Russian financial institutions. In March this year, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission charged Binance for allegedly offering unregistered crypto derivatives, among other things.
In its announcement, Binance said it put off the decision as long as it could “to explore other reasonable avenues to protect [its] Canadian users.” Indeed, Bloomberg says its Canadian affiliate filed paperwork to begin its registration process in March. But in the end, it had decided that continuing its operations in the country is “no longer tenable.”
Binance ended its announcement with a note saying it’s confident it will return to Canada, it’s CEO Changpeng Zhao’s home country, someday. It also said it hopes to continue engaging with Canadian authorities when it comes to forming a “thoughtful, comprehensive regulatory framework.”
Unfortunately, today we are announcing that Binance will be joining other prominent crypto businesses in proactively withdrawing from the Canadian marketplace.
We would like to thank those regulators who worked with us collaboratively to address the needs of Canadian users.…

This WordPress plugin for Elementor leaves websites vulnerable to hackers
If your website is powered by the WordPress page-builder Elementor, double-check if you’re using this popular plugin. Because, if you are, hackers can easily stage a complete takeover of your website thanks to a newly discovered security flaw.
Security researchers at Patchstack have released a new report about a concerning cybersecurity issue related to the WordPress plugin Essential Addons for Elementor. The plugin provides users with an assortment of pre-built WordPress blocks and templates for use when creating or updating their website.
“This plugin suffers from an unauthenticated privilege escalation vulnerability and allows any unauthenticated user to escalate their privilege to that of any user on the WordPress site,” writes Patchstack in its report.
Basically, malicious actors can take advantage of this to reset the password of any user, including the administrator’s account. If that latter account’s password is reset, a hacker could basically have access to the entire website – backend and all – and take control of the site from its rightful owner. If a targeted website stores user information, this bad actor would have access to and control of that as well.
“This vulnerability occurs because this password reset function does not validate a password reset key and instead directly changes the password of the given user,” explains Patchstack.
Update the plugin as soon as possible
The plugin vulnerability has since been patched and Essential Addons for Elementor users are being urged to update to version 5.7.2. All versions of the plugin prior, going back to version 5.4.0, are affected by the vulnerability. So, be sure to update the plugin!
More than 43 percent of all of the websites on the internet use WordPress. Elementor is a popular website builder for WordPress-powered sites. More than 12 million WordPress-sites utilize Elementor. According to the WordPress Plugin Directory, more than 1 million active websites have the Essential Addons for Elementor installed.
