TITLE

ABUS Secvest FUBE50001 Information Disclosure Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

The wireless-communication feature of the ABUS Secvest FUBE50001 device does not encrypt sensitive data such as PIN codes or IDs of used proximity chip keys (RFID tokens). This makes it easier for an attacker to disarm the wireless alarm system. ABUS Secvest FUBE50001 The device contains a vulnerability related to information leakage.Information may be obtained and tampered with. ABUS Secvest FUBE50001 is a wireless control unit of German ABUS company. There is a security loophole in the wireless communication function of the ABUS Secvest FUBE50001 device, which is caused by the program not encrypting sensitive data. Advisory ID: SYSS-2020-014 Product: ABUS Secvest Wireless Control Device (FUBE50001) Manufacturer: ABUS Affected Version(s): N/A Tested Version(s): N/A Vulnerability Type: Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data (CWE-311) Risk Level: High Solution Status: Open Manufacturer Notification: 2020-04-03 Solution Date: - Public Disclosure: 2020-06-17 CVE Reference: CVE-2020-14157 Authors of Advisory: Michael Rüttgers, Thomas Detert, Matthias Deeg (SySS GmbH) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overview: ABUS Secvest Wireless Control Device (FUBE50001) is a wireless control panel for the ABUS Secvest wireless alarm system. Some of the device features as described by the manufacturer are (see [1]): " * Easy operation via code or proximity keyfob The Secvest wireless control panel is an optional Secvest accessory. Every wireless control panel can be operated from your system via PIN code. It is possible to arm and disarm the panel via proximity keyfob. * Flexible use in entrance areas Up to 8 control panels can be integrated into the alarm system. These additional modules can be placed in various areas of the building. This provides added convenience for you, because Secvest can be armed and disarmed directly on the wireless control panel, without the need to go back to the central alarm panel every time. In addition to internal arming or arming individual sub-areas, you can also switch a single output, such as the garage door, if desired. * Secure wireless communication Thanks to a secure wireless communication procedure, this product is protected against ‘replay attacks’, as are the Secvest wireless alarm system and Secvest Touch alarm systems. This procedure for preventing third-party tampering exceeds the requirements of the “DIN EN 50131-1 level 2” security standard. Thus, an attacker observing radio signals of an ABUS FUBE50001 wireless control panel is able to see all sensitive data of transmitted packets as cleartext and can analyze the used packet format and the communication protocol. By knowing the correct PIN code or the ID of a valid ABUS Secvest proximity chip key, an attacker is able to disarm the wireless alarm system in an unauthorized way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proof of Concept (PoC): Michael Rüttgers, Thomas Detert, and Matthias Deeg developed different PoC software tools, either for the RFCat-based radio dongle YARD Stick One [3] in one version, or the GreatFet One neighbor Erica [4] in another one, that allowed sniffing out used PIN codes or used proximity chip key IDs when eavesdropping on the FUBE50001 wireless communication. The following output exemplarily shows a successful PIN code sniffing attack: $ python2 abus_fube50001_pin_sniffer.py ABUS Secvest FUBE50001 PIN Code Sniffer PoC - SySS GmbH (c) 2020 by Thomas Detert, Michael Rüttgers, and Matthias Deeg --- [*] Listening for ABUS FUBE50001 packets ...
