Security researchers identified vulnerabilities in Securam Prologic locks affecting multiple brands of electronic safes. Techniques uncovered demonstrate how unauthorized individuals can exploit backdoors designed for locksmiths to gain access. The research was catalyzed by concerns over a case involving Liberty Safe, where a safe was opened by law enforcement using a provided code. The discovered vulnerabilities allow access to safes with little effort, leading to serious implications for physical security and privacy in personal safety storage.
Researchers James Rowley and Mark Omo uncovered vulnerabilities in Securam Prologic locks, allowing unauthorized access to electronic safes from various brands.
Omo posed the critical question of how someone else could possess the means to access a locked safe, highlighting the significant flaw in physical security.
The researchers identified two methods to exploit backdoors in locking mechanisms, which are meant to be accessible solely to authorized locksmiths.
During their presentation at Defcon, Rowley and Omo revealed that these vulnerabilities permit hackers to access safes quickly and effortlessly.
