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.
