I’d also like to hear more. I have at least a dozen of these in my house.
Comment on Undocumented 'Backdoor' Found In Chinese Bluetooth Chip Used By a Billion Devices.
embed_me@programming.dev 1 day agoThe article is talking about the Espressif ESP32 micro controller (has Wi-Fi/Classic Bluetooth/BLE).
I don’t know if the variants of this chip also have the same vulnerability (my guess is yes). As someone who works on this chip, I’m interested in more discourse on this matter.

Yeah, I caught the ESP32 part and tried to search for what devices these chips were built into, but couldn’t find one. I was curious how widespread the flaw was.

The Tasmota firmware documentation has a decent list, but it’s limited to devices that are known to be flash-able so you can install custom firmware on them. templates.blakadder.com

Thanks, that’s a pretty short list - as you said it’s limited.
CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 22 hours ago
If it affects all ESP32s, the list is infinitely longer

Oh those kind of devices. Its very popular for hobbyists and self-designed devices or cheap IoT products. Don’t know the market presence outside Asia but its quite popular in India due to its low cost.
