OWASP IoT Top10 Assessment
- I1 Weak, Guessable, or Hardcoded Passwords
Vulnerability: Web admin login uses weak password. Risk Level: High Remediation: Strong password policy and account lockout.
- I2 Insecure Network Services
Vulnerability: Multiple network services running on gateway. Risk Level: High Remediation: Disable all unnecessary services.
- I3 Insecure Ecosystem Interfaces
Vulnerability: Zigbee device pairing without strict verification. Risk Level: High Remediation: Verify device identity before pairing.
- I4 Lack of Secure Update Mechanism
Vulnerability: Gateway firmware update is critical for whole IoT network. Risk Level: High Remediation: Strict signature verification for gateway firmware.
- I5 Use of Vulnerable and Outdated Components
Vulnerability: Linux system packages may be outdated. Risk Level: Medium Remediation: Regular system package upgrade.
- I6 Insufficient Privacy Protection
Vulnerability: Gateway collects data from all subordinate IoT devices. Risk Level: High Remediation: Isolate data flow and implement access control.
- I7 Insecure Data Transfer and Storage
Vulnerability: Gateway is the core forwarding node, encryption must be enforced. Risk Level: High Remediation: Encrypt traffic between gateway and end devices.
- I8 Lack of Device Management & Audit
Vulnerability: Centralized log for all connected IoT devices. Risk Level: Medium Remediation: Centralized audit log on gateway.
- I9 Insecure Default Configurations
Vulnerability: Default SSH or web admin account enabled. Risk Level: High Remediation: Disable default admin account after initialization.
- I10 Poor Physical Security
Vulnerability: If gateway is compromised, entire smart home network is at risk. Risk Level: Medium Remediation: Place gateway in secure equipment area.
