CVE-2022-43704

Channel Accessible by non-endpoint


Introduction


Our Security Research Team at [exploitsecurity.io] discovered a vulnerability in the Sinilink WiFi Remote Thermostat, running firmware V1.3.6, which allows for an attacker to bypass the intended requirement to communicate using MQTT but instead it is possible to replay sinilink protocol commands interfacing directly with the target device. This in turn allows for an attack to control the onboard relay without requiring authentiation via the mobile application. The target device is required to be in 'Manual Mode' with 'Power On, Close' as a pre-requisite.

Remediation Steps


  • Adequately verify the identity of entities at each end of the communication channel. Inadequate or inconsistent verification may result in insufficient or incorrect identification of either communicating entity. This can have negative consequences such as misplaced trust in the entity at the other end of the channel. An attacker can leverage this by interposing between the communicating entities and masquerading as the original entity. In the absence of sufficient verification of identity, such an attacker can eavesdrop and potentially modify the communication between the original entities.
