Researcher Finds Over 60 Vulnerabilities in Physical Security Systems
2020-01-31 12:32

A researcher has discovered more than 60 vulnerabilities across 20 physical security products, including critical flaws that can be exploited remotely to take complete control of a device.

The DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency recently published an advisory to warn users of Honeywell's MAXPRO video management system and network video recorder products that Austria-based researcher Joachim Kerschbaumer had identified two serious vulnerabilities that could allow hackers to take control of affected systems.

Kerschbaumer told SecurityWeek that the flaws impacting the Honeywell products were discovered as part of a larger research project targeting 28 video management systems and 13 access control systems.

Over 60 vulnerabilities discovered across 20 products.

His analysis led to the discovery of vulnerabilities in 15 of the 28 targeted video management systems, and 5 of the 13 tested access control systems.
