Hub reboot via doDebug null-pointer write
Published Oct 25, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
Denial of service in Abode Systems, Inc. iota All-In-One Security Kit 6.9X and 6.9Z allows remote attackers to reboot the hub via XML. The doDebug XCMD handler accepts a crash element and deliberately writes to address zero, terminating the hpgw process and allowing its watchdog to expire. Unauthenticated access to UDP port 55050 is sufficient, and exploitation interrupts all hub functions until the automatic reboot completes.
