If the problem is an expired device certificate then this was a very quick turnaround.

All shipped chromecast receiver devices have the device cert private key safely locked behind a TPM. Sending new certificates across the network without carefully planning things gives us a chance to intercept them & use them in our own receiver software which could e.g. download streams from Netflix/ Disney etc.
