Description
A null pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the Matter SDK (connectedhomeip) before 1.4.0, affecting the ReadRevisionAttribute function used in multiple clusters (Channel, Account Login, TargetNavigator, etc.). The function lacks proper validation of the delegate pointer before dereferencing. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue by sending a crafted read request, causing the device to crash (denial of service). This issue has been confirmed in SDK version v1.4 (commit ab3d5ae).

Impact

A null‑pointer dereference in the Matter SDK’s ReadRevision cause a device crash by sending a specially crafted read request. The fault occurs because the function does not validate the delegate pointer before dereferencing. Consequently, an unauthenticated attacker can trigger interrupting the operation of the affected device without compromising data confidentiality or integrity.

Affected Systems

Project Chip Matter SDK (connectedhomeip) distributed on GitHub. Versions released before 1.4.0 are vulnerable. The issue manifests in clusters that use the ReadRevisionAttribute function, and others.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high‑severity vulnerability. EPSS is listed as <1 %, signaling a low probability of existing exploits and the lack of current exploitation activity. The defect can be reached through an unauthenticated network request, meaning any device that accepts such traffic is at risk. Although the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, its severity and remote reach warrant immediate attention.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Matter SDK to version 1.4.0 or later, which includes the null‑pointer validation fix.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, block or restrict unauthenticated read requests to the affected clusters (Channel, Account Login, TargetNavigator, etc.) using firewall rules or configuration changes to prevent the ReadRevisionAttribute operation from being exposed to external traffic.
  • After applying the patch or implementing the blockage, test the device with crafted read requests to confirm that the denial‑of‑service condition no longer occurs, and monitor logs for any unexpected crashes.
