Drone vulnerability could compromise enterprise data SC Media

Check Point Researchers developed an attack to hijack DJI drone user accounts that may contain the user's sensitive information as well as access to the device itself. Researchers developed an XSS attack that could be posted on a DJI forum that is used by hundreds of thousands of DJI customers, to intercept the identifying token and use it to log in as the customer, according to a Nov. 11 blog post. The attack demonstrates the vulnerability in the drone's cloud network which can be accessed from anywhere by highlighting the need for a two-factor authentication mechanism, better identification mechanisms, and the importance of segmentation for organizations across their IT networks in order to contain and limit the damage inflicted by a potential attack. The attacker enters the web forum, steals the cookie ID and login, then either uses the stolen information to either bypass SeNeo Mobile protection to access a DJI mobile app or to access the full DJI Flight Hub. Once this is done, the threat actor has access to the drone's flight records, photos taken during flight, payment details, real-time access to the drones camera,, and a live view of the drone pilot's camera and location.
