CVE-2023-4346 is an overly restrictive account lockout mechanism vulnerability in implementations of KNX Connection Authorization that support Option 1. Affected devices use a BCU key to establish a device password, but the key often cannot be reset without knowledge of the current password. An attacker able to access the KNX installation over its connected network, or able to physically access a device, can purge devices that lack additional security options and set a BCU key. This can permanently lock legitimate owners out of affected devices.
