A protection mechanism failure in the Code 27 Companion Hub allows an attacker with physical access to completely bypass kiosk restrictions via a factory reset

AnalysisAI

Kiosk restriction bypass in the Code 27 Companion Hub allows an attacker with physical device access to perform a factory reset that completely circumvents the kiosk protection mechanism, granting full control over the device. The flaw (CWE-288) represents a protection mechanism failure where an alternate path - the factory reset function - is not gated by the same access controls as the restricted kiosk environment. …

Exploit
Trigger factory reset outside kiosk restrictions
Execution
Kiosk protections dismantled on reboot
Impact
Attain full device configuration and data access

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Physical access to the Code 27 Companion Hub is the sole prerequisite - no network connectivity, credentials, or prior authentication is required. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk is moderate and tightly bounded by the physical access prerequisite. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An adversary with brief physical access to an unattended Code 27 Companion Hub - for example, a kiosk in a retail or public-facing environment - triggers the device's factory reset function, which is accessible without authentication and outside the kiosk restriction layer. The factory reset dismantles all kiosk controls, returning the device to a configurable state that grants full operating system or application access. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch version has been identified at time of analysis; affected version boundaries and fix availability should be confirmed directly via the vendor advisories at https://code.com and https://companion.com. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
