No-fly-zone bypass via exposed setNFZEnable toggle
Published Nov 16, 2023 · Updated Jun 11, 2025
Incorrect permissions in Autel Robotics EVO Nano drone 1.6.5 allow attackers to disable geofencing through the Autel Sky app. The app exposes the public setNFZEnable method and accepts a false Boolean argument from an injected Frida hook during startup. Exploitation requires control of a rooted Android phone connected to the remote controller and permits flight inside configured no-fly zones.
