Unknown · Knx Devices · CVE-2023-4346
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
KNX Protocol (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
Devices using KNX Connection Authorization that support Option 1 are susceptible to a lockout mechanism issue. An attacker with network access or physical access to the device can utilize the BCU key feature to set a password, effectively locking the device. Because this password often cannot be reset without the current credentials, users may be permanently unable to regain access. Real-world incidents known as KNXlock attacks have been observed, resulting in the permanent lockout of building automation devices such as lighting, heating, and shutters.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
