Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid low-privilege authenticated session on the Rently Smart Home platform - for example, a registered tenant account or any user-tier credential. The CVSS 4.0 PR:L metric confirms this authentication prerequisite. The vulnerability is network-accessible with no special configuration required beyond the standard deployed state of the application. Exploitation is limited by the need for prior account access; fully anonymous or unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the available CVSS data. The physical impact is further gated by the attacker's ability to be present at the property or to hand off the retrieved PIN to a third party.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 is driven by a network-accessible (AV:N), low-complexity (AC:L), no-special-conditions (AT:N) attack requiring only low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction, with high impact across vulnerable-system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The PR:L metric is a meaningful limiting factor - some level of account registration or authentication is required, narrowing the exposed surface to registered users or compromised accounts rather than fully anonymous attackers. That said, in a property rental platform, a large number of tenants and managers hold legitimate low-privilege credentials, making the practical attacker pool broad. No KEV listing is present, so active exploitation is not confirmed; no POC has been identified either. EPSS data was not provided in the supplied intelligence, precluding probability-based exploitation forecasting. The physical security dimension - Master PIN retrieval enabling bypass of lock access controls across managed properties - substantially elevates real-world risk beyond what a purely digital credential leak would represent, and even a mid-sized property management operator should treat this as a high-priority remediation rather than routine patching. The high C/I/A impact scores in the provided vector are consistent with the description: full PIN retrieval enables account-level takeover and physical access override.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has registered or compromised a low-privilege tenant account on the Rently Smart Home platform sends an authenticated API request to a credential-retrieval endpoint that lacks server-side authorization enforcement. The response returns PIN data for the property, including the Master Pin. The attacker then uses the Master Pin to physically access the property or override tenant-level access restrictions, bypassing all permission controls the platform is designed to enforce.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 26, 2026

Credential exposure in Rently Smart Home versions 20.1.0 and prior allows authenticated network-based attackers to retrieve all property access PINs, including the Master Pin that overrides the standard user permission hierarchy. Reported by ICS-CERT via CISA advisory ICSA-26-237-01, the flaw is particularly severe in property rental contexts where Master Pin retrieval translates directly to unauthorized physical access to tenant properties. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and network-accessible vector make this a genuine operational and physical security risk.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to apply the vendor-supplied patch or upgrade to a version beyond 20.1.0 as directed by Rently per CISA ICS advisory ICSA-26-237-01 (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-237-01). An exact fixed version was not specified in the available intelligence - consult the advisory directly for the confirmed patched release. As a compensating control prior to patching, administrators should audit all active low-privilege accounts and revoke access for any that do not require system access, reducing the pool of potential exploiters. Network-level access controls restricting the smart home application API endpoints to known management IP ranges can reduce exposure, though this may affect legitimate remote management workflows. Additionally, rotating all existing PINs - especially the Master Pin - after patching is critical, since any previously exposed credentials must be treated as compromised. The trade-off of PIN rotation is operational disruption to existing tenants and temporary lockout risk if not coordinated.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-522 (Insufficiently Protected Credentials) indicates the Rently Smart Home application fails to adequately restrict access to stored PIN credentials, allowing lower-privileged authenticated users to retrieve credential data they should not have visibility into. The affected product (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:rently:smart_home:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a smart home platform widely used in the property rental management sector to control smart lock access via PIN codes. The root cause is likely inadequate server-side authorization enforcement on credential-retrieval API endpoints - returning full PIN data, including the elevated Master Pin, to callers regardless of their permission tier. This is a classic privilege boundary failure within a credential store, where the data is retrievable over the network without the application enforcing the access hierarchy it is supposed to protect.

DescriptionCVE.org

Rently Smart Home versions 20.1.0 and prior are vulnerable to an Insufficiently Protected Credentials vulnerability. This could allow an attacker to retrieve pins including the Master Pin, overriding standard user permissions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Rently Smart Home versions 20.1.0 and prior contain a credential exposure vulnerability (CVE-2026-75960, CVSS 8.7) that allows authenticated attackers to retrieve all property access PINs, including the Master Pin that overrides standard permissions. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but in multi-unit rental operations, compromise of the Master Pin directly enables unauthorized physical access to tenant properties. This presents operational risk, tenant safety concerns, and potential legal liability requiring immediate investigation.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict network access to Rently systems via firewall rules and network segmentation, enable comprehensive audit logging for PIN access attempts and authentication events, rotate PIN credentials where operationally feasible, require multi-factor authentication for all management account access, conduct physical security audits of high-risk properties, deploy temporary supplemental access controls (secondary keypads, physical entry logs, staff-supervised access) until patching becomes available.
