CVE-2025-59449 is an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the YoSmart/YoLink MQTT broker (reported as affecting the broker through 2025-10-02) where the broker does not enforce sufficient authorization controls to prevent cross-account access. If an attacker can obtain a target device’s YoLink device ID, the attacker can issue MQTT operations that result in remote operation/control of the victim’s devices. The advisory notes YoLink device IDs are predictable, which materially lowers the barrier to obtaining valid IDs and enables cross-account attacks at scale.
