He explained: &#8220;It is a language that allows developers to program how Alexa will talk in certain situations, for example. An SSML tag could say that Alexa would whisper or maybe speak with a happy mood.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An SSML break tag, he told us, allowed natural-sounding pauses in scripts read out by Alexa to be extended to an hour long, meaning Alexa was no longer listening to the user&#8217;s inputs: &#8220;So, an attacker could use this listening feature to set up a social engineering scenario in which the skill pretends to be Alexa and replies to the user&#8217;s utterances as if it was Alexa&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone can create a new Alexa Skill and publish it on the Alexa Skill store; as an example, while briefly reviewing Amazon UK&#8217;s Skill store, <i>The Register<\/i> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Shiv-Nadar-School-Faridabad-Food\/dp\/B09Q2Z1CBW\/ref=sr_1_4?brr=1&amp;qid=1646317762&amp;rd=1&amp;s=digital-skills&amp;sr=1-4\">found<\/a> a Skill on the first page which reads out the lunch menu at a high school in northern India. Skills don&#8217;t need any special privileges to run on an Alexa-enabled device, though Amazon says it vets them before letting them go live.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon patched most of the vulns except for one where a Bluetooth-paired device could play crafted audio files over a vulnerable Amazon Echo speaker, Esposito told us. The threat model there involves a malicious person being close enough to connect to the speaker (Bluetooth range is about 10m); in that case you&#8217;ve got bigger problems than someone being able to remotely turn your dishwasher on.<\/p>\n<p>One vuln in particular, tracked as <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nvd.nist.gov\/vuln\/detail\/CVE-2022-25809\" rel=\"noopener\">CVE-2022-25809<\/a>, was assigned a medium severity according to the researchers.
