"
Due to an insecure implementation of the used 433 MHz radio
communication, the EASY HOME MAS-S01-09 wireless alarm system is
vulnerable to replay attacks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vulnerability Details:
SySS GmbH found out that the radio communication protocol used by the
EASY HOME MAS-S01-09 wireless alarm system and its remote control is
not protected against replay attacks. Therefore, an attacker can record
the 433 MHz radio signal of a wireless remote control, for example using
a software-defined radio, when the alarm system is disarmed by its
owner, and play it back at a later time in order to disable the alarm
system at will.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proof of Concept (PoC):
SySS GmbH could successfully perform a replay attack as described in the
previous section using a software-defined radio and disarm an EASY HOME
MAS-S01-09 wireless alarm system in an unauthorized way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
