Firmware disclosure via unrestricted NSH memory reads
Published Mar 9, 2023 · Updated Feb 28, 2025
Information disclosure in Yuneec Mantis Q and PX4-Autopilot 1.11.3 and earlier allows attackers to read firmware through NuttX NSH. The mb, mh, and mw commands accept attacker-chosen addresses and print memory contents, allowing flash firmware to be extracted despite hardware read protection. Access to an exposed NSH console over a serial or MAVLink transport is required; successful use discloses firmware contents but does not modify them.
