Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Out-of-bounds Read in Shelly Pro 3EM (before v1.4.4) allows Overread Buffers.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Shelly Pro 3EM devices before firmware version 1.4.4 allows an attacker to read beyond allocated buffer boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive data from memory.

MitigationUpdate Shelly Pro 3EM firmware to version 1.4.4 or later to patch the vulnerability.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Access the Shelly Pro 3EM web interface
    Open a web browser and navigate to the device IP address or hostname. Look for a Device Info, Status, or About section typically found in Settings or the main dashboard.
    Affected if The firmware version displayed is lower than 1.4.4
  2. Check firmware version via local REST API
    Send an HTTP GET request to http://<device-ip>/rpc/Shelly.GetDeviceInfo or similar endpoint. Examine the JSON response for the 'fw_id' or 'version' field.
    Affected if The returned version number is less than 1.4.4 or the version string indicates a build before 1.4.4
  3. Check firmware version via Shelly cloud or mobile app
    Log into the Shelly cloud account or Shelly mobile app, locate the Shelly Pro 3EM device, and view the device information section which typically displays the current firmware version.
    Affected if The listed firmware version is below 1.4.4
  4. Identify if the out-of-bounds read trigger is accessible
    Review whether the device has external network exposure or unauthenticated API endpoints that could be reached by an attacker to trigger the vulnerable code path. Check device network configuration and firewall settings.
    Affected if The device is reachable from untrusted networks and the firmware version is below 1.4.4

A Shelly Pro 3EM is affected if its installed firmware version is below 1.4.4 and the device has network exposure that could allow an attacker to trigger the out-of-bounds read.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update Shelly Pro 3EM firmware to version 1.4.4 or later to patch the vulnerability.

Recommended fix High confidence

v1.4.4 or later

  1. Access the Shelly Pro 3EM device web interface or Shelly mobile application
  2. Navigate to the device Settings or Device Info section
  3. Locate the Firmware Update option
  4. Check the current firmware version (ensure it is before v1.4.4)
  5. Update the firmware to version 1.4.4 or later
  6. Verify the update was successful by confirming the new firmware version
