SySS GmbH found out that the 125 kHz RFID technology used by the EASY HOME MAS-S01-09 wireless alarm system has no protection by means of authentication against rogue/cloned RFID tokens. The information stored on the used RFID tokens can be read easily in a very short time from distances up to 1 meter, depending on the used RFID reader. A working cloned RFID token is ready for use within a couple of seconds using freely available tools.

used to deactivate the alarm system in an unauthorized way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vulnerability Details:
SySS GmbH found out that the 125 kHz RFID technology used by the EASY
HOME MAS-S01-09 wireless alarm system has no protection by means of
authentication against rogue/cloned RFID tokens.
The information stored on the used RFID tokens can be read easily in a
very short time from distances up to 1 meter, depending on the used
RFID reader. A working cloned RFID token is ready for use within a
couple of seconds using freely available tools.
Thus, an attacker with one-time access to the information of an RFID
token of an EASY HOME MAS-S01-09 wireless alarm system is able to create
a rogue RFID token that can be used to deactivate the alarm system in
an unauthorized manner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proof of Concept (PoC):
SySS GmbH could successfully clone an RFID token of an EASY HOME
MAS-S01-09 wireless alarm system using a freely available off-the-shelf
tool and disarm the wireless alarm system in an unauthorized way.
