Bambu Lab displays creative conception of security in latest firmware update

3D printer manufacturer Bambu Lab has released an update for their X-family of printers. The change introduces the requirement to "authenticate" requests to their printers API, breaking third-party software integrations. To control a printer remotely, users are now required to use the new "Bambu Connect" software, an electron app in beta state.

Shortly after the release, some people have already reverse engineered the software and extracted the "private" access key, which appears to be hardcoded within the app: https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/Reverse_Engineering_Bamb...
