Researchers have uncovered vulnerabilities in a popular smart deadbolt could allow attackers to remotely unlock doors and break into homes. Making matters worse, the smart door lock manufacturer has not yet acknowledged nor fixed the flaws.

The vulnerabilities are medium severity as some level of access to an already compromised mobile device is required for exploitation – however, once an attacker accesses a victim’s phone, they can easily exploit the flaws to remotely unlock the deadlock from the mobile app.

“This, in turn, may present a physical risk to the people and property protected by these locks,” said Tod Beardsley with Rapid7 in a Thursday analysis.
Thursday marks the planned public disclosure deadline (more than 60 days past May 16) for revealing the flaws.
“In the absence of vendor-supplied patches, users of these iOS and Android applications and their associated door locks should take care to not share access with people who should not have long-term, permanent access to the protected property,” researchers warned.
