The Z-Wave specification requires that S2 security can be downgraded to S0 or other less secure protocols, allowing an attacker within radio range during pairing to downgrade and then exploit a different vulnerability (CVE-2013-20003) to intercept and spoof traffic.

Weakness

A protocol or its implementation supports interaction between multiple actors and allows those actors to negotiate which algorithm should be used as a protection mechanism such as encryption or authentication, but it does not select the strongest algorithm that is available to both parties.
