ymf50b_firmware: Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key

CVE-2024-35344 is a critical-severity use of hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability in ymf50b_firmware from Anpviz, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.9 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. Affected ymf50b_firmware versions: 3.2.2.2 and earlier. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
