PIN disclosure via exposed UART keystroke output
Published Jan 26, 2026 · Updated Jan 26, 2026
Information disclosure in dormakaba Registration Unit 90 02 before SW0039 allows physically proximate attackers to capture entered PINs. The PIN pad transmits every button press over an exposed rear UART header, allowing an attached hardware implant to record and relay PIN data. Exploitation requires physical device access, special equipment, removal and reinstallation of a manipulated unit; no integrity or availability impact is reported.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
