Drone crash via manipulated home-point location

Published Apr 10, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Improper value handling in PX4 Autopilot 1.14.0 allows local users to alter a drone's flight path through its home point. The public report identifies mission_block.cpp and attacker-controlled home-point location handling but does not disclose the exact validation failure. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and user interaction; successful manipulation can redirect the aircraft and crash it.
