Researchers reported vulnerabilities in market-
leading drone platform
R
esearchers at Check Point Software
Technologies Ltd., headquartered
in Israel and a leading provider of
cybersecurity solutions globally, and DJI,
a world leader in civilian drones and aerial
imaging technology, have shared details
of a potential vulnerability that could have
impacted DJI’s infrastructure, if exploited.
DJI consumer users who had synced their
flight records, including photos, videos and
flight logs to DJI’s cloud servers, and DJI
corporate users who used DJI FlightHub
software, which includes a live camera, audio
and map view, could have become vulnerable.
This vulnerability has since been patched and
there is no evidence it was ever exploited.
“Following this discovery, it is important
for organisations to understand that
sensitive information can be used between
all platforms and if exposed on one
platform, can lead to compromise of global
infrastructure,” said Oded Vanunu, Head
of Products Vulnerability Research at
Check Point.
In a report submitted in accordance
with DJI’s Bug Bounty Program, Check
Point research outlined the process in
which an attacker could have potentially
gained access to a user’s account through
a vulnerability discovered in the user
identification process within DJI Forum,
a DJI-sponsored online forum about
DJI products. Check Point’s researchers
discovered that DJI’s platforms used a token
to identify registered users across different
aspects of the customer experience, making
it a target for hackers looking for ways to
access accounts.
