A Gateway G2 can be impersonated using its MAC address

December 20, 2023

Aleph Research Advisory

Severity: Moderate Product: Sciener Smart Locks

Technical Details

The Sciener server does not validate connection requests from the Gateway G2, allowing an impersonation attack. An attacker can connect to Sciener servers, impersonate a Gateway G2 that has established a connection with a lock by using its MAC address, and receive messages instead of the legitimate Gateway G2. This can facilitate access of the unlockKey value.
