Little did I know that my latest home appliance would be a security risk. Earlier this month, I purchased a “smart” 12-in-one COSORI air fryer, toaster, dehydrator, rotisserie, and convection oven. I’ve used it to make pizza, biscuits, non-greasy fries and air-fried Brussels sprouts.

I love cooking with this device, but I just read on ZDNet that a Cosori air fryer was found to have “two remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities.” I’m still using mine, but at least until I verify that the vulnerability has been fixed, I plan to leave it unplugged while it’s not in use. Actually, unplugging it is a good idea for other reasons. It saves energy (most modern electronic devices use a small amount of power when not in use) and avoids any possibility of a safety issue when not in use. The CS158 model with the known vulnerabilities is different from mine, but I wonder whether mine might also have issues.
