Access System Flaws Enabled Hackers to Unlock Doors at Major European Firms

Researchers at SEC Consult discovered more than 20 vulnerabilities in Dormakaba’s Exos central management software and related access hardware that could have allowed attackers to remotely open doors and obtain access PINs. Dormakaba has issued patches and hardening guidance while working with affected customers, though SEC Consult found a few dozen internet-exposed systems that remained reachable. #Dormakaba #Exos
