A directory traversal bug has been found in a Miele dishwasher. This allows access to arbitrary files on the dishwasher's Web server from unauthenticated users. It has been questioned whether appliance makers should be the ones connecting things to networks, since their lack of experience means there isn't even an official channel to report or fix security bugs. Miele are yet to comment.

But... but... but... how am I suppose to check the status of my dishwasher when I'm at work or taking a dump (or both!). I need constant stream of notifications about every mundane thing in my life or I might cease to exist! I can't wait for the new twitter dishwasher that will allow me to tweet my dishwasher status to all my friends to fill the vacuous hole that is their pathetic lives!
