Hot Take:

Paxton Net2’s access control system is about as secure as a screen door on a submarine. With vulnerabilities that allow for PIN code pilfering and user management meddling, it’s like handing the keys to the kingdom to anyone with a basic understanding of MSSQL. Maybe it’s time Paxton Net2 invested in some digital locks or at least acknowledged the problem.

Key Points:

  • Paxton Net2 software has been reported to have significant security vulnerabilities.
  • The software’s database can be compromised to reveal plaintext PIN codes and personal identifiable information (PII).
  • Administrator rights can be gained through MSSQL single user mode without physical access.
  • The vendor has not acknowledged the vulnerabilities, nor is there a planned fix.
  • Mitigation recommendations include monitoring local access to the system.
