Description Preview
ismartgate PRO 1.5.9 contains a file upload vulnerability in the garage door image upload functionality. The application only validates files by checking for PNG magic bytes at the beginning of the file, without performing proper content validation. This allows attackers to upload malicious files with executable code by simply prepending PNG magic bytes to their payloads, potentially leading to remote code execution on the device.
Overview
The ismartgate PRO 1.5.9 smart garage door opener contains a critical vulnerability in its web interface that allows attackers to upload malicious files to the system. The vulnerability exists in the form used for uploading images to garage doors, where the application only verifies the presence of PNG magic bytes (file signature) at the beginning of the file without validating the entire file content. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious file with PNG magic bytes at the beginning followed by malicious code. Once uploaded, this could potentially lead to remote code execution, unauthorized access to the device, or compromise of the entire smart home system.
Remediation
Users should take the following actions to mitigate this vulnerability:
- Update to the latest firmware version if a patch is available from ismartgate.
- Implement network segmentation to isolate IoT devices like ismartgate from critical systems.
- Use strong, unique passwords for the ismartgate administration interface.
- Restrict access to the ismartgate web interface to trusted IP addresses only.
- Monitor for suspicious activities or unauthorized access attempts.
- Consider implementing additional security controls such as a firewall or IPS to protect the device.
- Contact ismartgate support for specific security recommendations if a patch is not yet available.
