CISA in a flap as Chirp smart door locks can be trivially unlocked remotely

Some smart locks controlled by Chirp Systems' software can be remotely unlocked by strangers thanks to a critical security vulnerability.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to take control and gain unrestricted physical accessAs the watchdog put it,"Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to take control and gain unrestricted physical access to systems using the affected product.

Although the vulnerability has existed for at least three years, as Brown discovered it in early 2021, the CISA says there are no known cases of it being exploited. Presumably because its existence has been kept under wraps until now.
