CVE-2026-50085
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 · uneditedThe Aqara Board service (op-test.aqara.com) accepts arbitrary MQTT command payloads, and forwards them to the platfom's HiveMQ broker without authentication. This is an instance of "CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function" and has an estimated CVSS ofCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L (8.6 High). When combined with CVE-2026-50082, CVE-50083, and CVE-50084, this can lead to a fully unauthenticated, remote takeover of affected devices.
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 · high confidenceThe Aqara Board service (op-test.aqara.com) accepts arbitrary MQTT command payloads and forwards them to the platform's HiveMQ broker without any authentication, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to send commands to devices. This is a critical authentication bypass (CWE-306) that enables full device takeover when chained with related CVEs.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Aqara Board Service is installedInventory installed software on the system and look for 'Aqara Board Service' or related Aqara componentsAffected if The Aqara Board Service is present on the system
-
Determine the installed version of Aqara Board ServiceUse system inventory or package management tools to query the exact version number of the Aqara Board ServiceAffected if The version is exactly 2026-04-20
-
Check network connections to op-test.aqara.comMonitor network traffic or review DNS/cache entries to determine if the system communicates with op-test.aqara.comAffected if The system makes outbound connections to op-test.aqara.com
-
Verify MQTT broker authentication configurationInspect the HiveMQ broker configuration to determine if authentication is required for incoming MQTT connectionsAffected if The HiveMQ broker accepts connections without requiring authentication credentials
A system is affected if it runs Aqara Board Service version 2026-04-20 that forwards MQTT commands to op-test.aqara.com without requiring authentication on the HiveMQ broker.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement authentication and authorization checks on the Aqara Board service before forwarding MQTT commands to the HiveMQ broker, and ensure only authenticated/authorized requests are processed.
