Description
A flaw has been found in Insta InstaKNXServiceApp 1.2.3.1469. Affected by this issue is the function CreateWebClientAndDownloadFileList of the component Firmware Update Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to insufficient verification of data authenticity. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. Attacks of this nature are highly complex. The exploitation is known to be difficult. There are still doubts about whether this vulnerability truly exists. The vendor explains: "[T]he entry suggests that the device does not verify the authenticity of the update. This is incorrect. The device performs an authenticity check after the complete update has been transferred. If this check fails, the update is not installed and the previously installed firmware continues to run".

Impact

A flaw has been identified in Insta's InstaKNXServiceApp firmware update handler, specifically in the CreateWebClientAndDownloadFileList function of the firmware update component. The vulnerability is caused by insufficient verification of data authenticity during update manipulation. According to the vendor, an authenticity check is performed after the entire firmware update has been transferred, and if this check fails the update is not installed, leaving the previous firmware intact. The vulnerability, however, could potentially allow a remote attacker to influence the update process, though exploitation is described as highly complex and difficult, and doubts remain about whether the flaw truly exists. The weakness is identified as CWE-345, indicating insufficient verification of data authenticity.

Affected Systems

Insta's InstaKNXServiceApp, specifically version 1.2.3.1469, is impacted. No other versions or products are listed.

Risk and Exploitability
