Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to read the credential and device administration keys from a configuration card. Those keys could be used to create malicious configuration cards or credentials.
The following HID products are affected:
3.2.1 IMPROPER AUTHORIZATION CWE-285
Sensitive data can be extracted from HID iCLASS SE reader configuration cards. This could include credential and device administrator keys.
CVE-2024-23806 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).
HID Global reported this vulnerability to CISA.
HID Global recommends the following mitigations to reduce the risk:
Elite Key and Custom Key customers that have kept their configuration cards secure should continue to be vigilant and restrict access to those cards. To exploit this vulnerability, a reader must be physically close to or in possession of the configuration cards to communicate with the card and extract information.
Administrators should plan to securely destroy unneeded configuration cards.
Customers using the HID standard key, and other customers who are concerned their keys may be compromised should consider steps to update the readers and credentials with new keys. To assist in this effort, HID will be introducing a free upgrade to the Elite Key program. Contact your HID representative for more information at <https://www.hidglobal.com/support>.
HID has also provided additional steps users can take steps to harden their readers to prevent malicious configuration changes.
iCLASS SE Readers
If you need assistance, or if the reader firmware has not been updated to 8.6.0.4 or higher, contact HID Technical Support.
HID OMNIKEY Readers, OMNIKEY Secure Elements, iCLASS SE Reader Modules, iCLASS SE Processors
