Bosch Security Systems IP Cameras NXP Chip Side-Channel Key Extraction (CVE-2021-3011)

medium Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 505364

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

Several Bosch IP cameras are built on a hardware platform that uses an NXP SmartMX/P5x secure element affected by an electromagnetic-wave side-channel vulnerability. An attacker with extended physical access to the device could recover the ECDSA private key and clone the device. The issue resides in the built-in hardware component and has no firmware relation: all affected platforms are impacted regardless of the firmware version installed, and the vulnerable chip cannot be updated. The issue only applies when customer-installed ECDSA keys are in use (Bosch ships no default ECDSA keys). Cameras on the CPP13 and CPP14 platforms do not use the vulnerable chip and are not affected.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
