MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- Amazon says it will fix a flaw in its "Amazon Key" that could leave users exposed.

'Amazon Key' is a new device that lets delivery people put packages like groceries in your home when you're not there.

That's only after they authenticate themselves.

An in-home camera is part of the system but there's an issue with it.

"Wired" magazine reports a security firm found a problem, which could allow thieves to freeze the camera and get inside undetected.
