CVE-2024-43814

Location disclosure via default unencrypted PLI broadcasts

Published Sep 26, 2024 · Updated Oct 17, 2024

Insertion of sensitive information in goTenna Pro ATAK Plugin 1.9.12 and earlier allows attackers to read locations via radio broadcasts. The active plugin sends automatic Position, Location, and Information updates every 60 seconds by default without enabling encryption. A nearby listener can recover exact user locations when a paired goTenna device is connected and mission encryption has not been activated.
