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.

Also to give notification beeps to tell me "CYCLE HAS FINISHED" every 15 seconds, non-stop, day and night, anywhere in the world - until I go to it and manually turn it off. Yes sir, right away sir.
