Comcast’s Xfinity Home Security vulnerable, fail open flaw leaves homes exposed

Researchers at Rapid7 have disclosed vulnerabilities in Comcast’s Xfinity Home Security offerings. The flaws cause the system to falsely report that a home’s windows and doors are closed and secured, even if they’ve been opened. The root cause of the problem can be found in the ZigBee-based protocol used by Comcast’s system. A fix would require a software or firmware update to the base station to determine tolerance levels for radio failure conditions. Comcast was notified about the vulnerability, but the company didn’t respond to Rapid7.”]
