CVE-2020-14157Public exploit

Alarm disarming via cleartext wireless credentials

Published Jun 17, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Cleartext transmission in ABUS Secvest FUBE50001 allows physically proximate attackers to capture PIN codes and RFID token IDs over radio. The wireless control panel places entered PINs and proximity-token identifiers into transmitted packets without encryption, enabling passive decoding of the credentials. Radio reception range and legitimate keypad or token use are required; captured values allow unauthorized disarming of the alarm system.
