CVE-2026-1201 - Hubitat Dashboard Privilege Escalation Vunerablity Write-Up - Ostrich Lab - Security Research

More to come in the next few weeks, but I do want to share the CISA Advisory for the #hubitat home automation hub vulnerability that I found. Big shout out to hubitat for resolving this so quickly!

#homeautomation #hubitat #cybersecurity #CVE #CISA

Alright, got #HomeAssistant set up on my #RPi3 and got it connected through my browser and iOS app. Added a few devices but have to find a way yet to connect my #Carrier #Infinity thermostat, #Flair smart vents, #Leviton no-neutral switch wifi hub, #Nest thermostat, #Orbit #Bhyve sprinkler controller, #Hubitat, and #Roku.

You know, just a few things πŸ˜†

Also got Ring connected but the cams don't work. They weren't working in #Homebridge/#Homekit anyway, so whatevs.

TIL that some of the pre-set lighting scenes in the Hue app use colors outside of RGB/HSV, in the CIE XYZ color space. This is a little problematic, trying to get those colors outside of the Hue app, which I want to move away from. Specifically: "nightlight" can't be coded without XYZ, and #Hubitat doesn't offer that capability. Maybe another reason to push forward with #HomeAssistant to manage things. RGB(3,1,0) is best I can do.

Also, the Tapo #Matter bulbs don't seem to respect brightness...

I know I *should* do it, as so much has changed with the move, but recreating dashboards and automations is a little daunting, and definitely time consuming. Though it would allow me to coalesce Alexa, Hue, and Hubitat Elevation into, as best I can, single source of truth (namely HE until I can both going to HA)

It feels like I either need to learn Groovy to write my own #Hubitat automations that do exactly what I want, or migrate to #HomeAssistant and either hope there's something there, or can use another, more familiar language

@Benhm3 Yeah, it's not at all reliable, and it doesn't matter which ZWave controller you use.

I've tried #Hubitat, #Homey and #Smartthings and none of them have the same problem.

If you're not interested in the Apple Homekit side of things, then without doubt #Smartthings is the best of the bunch. If you want Homekit support, next is #Homey, if your devices are supported (which is less likely), and finally #Hubitat which is fine but pretty clunky for automation.

Homey Pro's automation system is decent on the app, but if you use the web interface they have a #NodeRED style system, which is excellent.
