Details
A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Firewalla Box Software up to 1.978. Affected by this issue is an unknown part of the component BLE. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a weak credentials vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-1391. The product uses weak credentials (such as a default key or hard-coded password) that can be calculated, derived, reused, or guessed by an attacker. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
A weak credential vulnerability exists in Firewalla Box Software versions before 1.979. This vulnerability allows a physically close attacker to use the license UUID for authentication and provision SSH credentials over the Bluetooth Low-Energy (BTLE) interface. Once an attacker gains access to the LAN, they could log into the SSH interface using the provisioned credentials. The license UUID can be acquired through plain-text Bluetooth sniffing, reading the QR code on the bottom of the device, or brute-forcing the UUID (though this is less likely).
The weakness was shared by Matthew Remacle. The advisory is available at vulncheck.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2024-40892 since 07/11/2024. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The attack needs to be done within the local network. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.
Upgrading to version 1.979 eliminates this vulnerability.
