Keurig 2.0 Authentication Bypass

Keurig 2.0 Authentication Bypass
Posted Dec 9, 2014

There's a simple hardware hack to fool the sensor so that you can use any K-Cup on a Keurig 2.0 machine. It is pretty obvious, but having seen this written up, it had to be posted.

Keurig 2.0 Authentication Bypass

*Overview*


Keurig 2.0 Coffee Maker contains a vulnerability in which the authenticity
of coffee pods, known as K-Cups, uses weak verification methods, which are
subject to a spoofing attack through re-use of a previously verified K-Cup.

Keurig 2.0 Coffee Maker


*Technical Details*


Keurig 2.0 is designed to only use genuine Keurig approved coffee K-Cups.
However, a flaw in the verification method allows an attacker to use
unauthorized K-Cups. The Keurig 2.0 does verify that the K-Cup foil lid
used for verification is not re-used.


Step 1: Attacker uses a genuine K-Cup in the Keurig machine to brew coffee
or hot chocolate.

Step 2: After brewing is complete, attacker removes the genuine K-Cup from
the Keurig and uses a knife or scissors to carefully remove the full foil
lid from the K-Cup, ensuring to keep the full edges intact. Attacker keeps
this for use in the attack.

Step 3: Attacker inserts a non-genuine K-Cup in the Keurig, and closes the
lid. Attacker should receive an "oops" error message stating that the K-Cup
is not genuine.

Step 4: Attacker opens the Keurig, leaving the non-genuine K-Cup in the
Keurig, and carefully places the previously saved genuine K-Cup lid on top
of the non-genuine K-Cup, lining up the puncture hole to keep the lid in
place.

Step 5: Attacker closes the Keurig, and is able to brew coffee using the
non-genuine K-Cup.


Since no fix is currently available, owners of Keurig 2.0 systems may wish
to take additional steps to secure the device, such as keeping the device
in a locked cabinet, or using a cable lock to prevent the device from being
plugged in when not being used by an authorized user.


Please note that a proof of concept is already available online.
