~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overview:

The Blaupunkt Smart GSM Alarm SA 2500 Kit is a wireless alarm system
with different features.

The manufacturer describes the product as follows (see [1]):

"Home is priceless. Protecting home should be anyone's top priority.
Blaupunkt Smart Alarm Series SA 2500/ SA 2700 Kit offers you an easy
and efficient way to do 'DIY security, DIY protection.' You can set up
a quality security system all by yourself and control/monitor your home
from your smartphone anytime, anywhere."

Due to an insecure implementation of the used 868 MHz radio
communication, the wireless alarm system Blaupunkt Smart GSM Alarm SA
2500 Kit is vulnerable to replay attacks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vulnerability Details:

SySS GmbH found out that the radio communication protocol used by the
Blaupunkt Smart GSM Alarm SA 2500 wireless alarm system and its remote
control is not protected against replay attacks. Therefore, an attacker
can record the radio signal of a wireless remote control, for example
using a software-defined radio, when the alarm system is disarmed by its
owner, and play it back at a later time in order to disable the alarm
system at will.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Proof of Concept (PoC):

SySS GmbH could successfully perform a replay attack as described in the
previous section using a software-defined radio and disarm a Blaupunkt
Smart GSM Alarm SA 2500 wireless alarm system in an unauthorized way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Solution:

SySS GmbH is not aware of a solution for this reported security
vulnerability.
