Smart Garage Doors Vulnerable to Remote Hijacking Due to Unpatched Security Flaws

Hackers have discovered a vulnerability in Nexx's wi-fi controllers that allows them to remotely open and close garage doors, as well as access sensitive user information. Cybersecurity researcher Sam Sabetan was able to intercept data sent from the Nexx wi-fi controller to the company's servers, and even control other users' garage doors. The flaw also applies to other devices sold by Nexx, including wi-fi enabled alarms and smart plugs. Despite attempts to reach out to Nexx, the company has been unresponsive and has not released a patch for the vulnerability.
