Root shell access via unauthenticated UART
Published Apr 8, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Missing authentication in Xiaomi XIAOAI Speaker Pro LX06 1.52.4 allows physically proximate attackers to obtain a root shell via UART. The UART debug console accepts a connection and opens a root session without requesting a password or performing authentication. Physical access to board-level debug points is required; root control exposes stored Wi-Fi credentials and dialogue text and permits eavesdropping, system-file changes, IR commands, and service interruption.
