Firmware disclosure via unauthenticated update manifest
Published Oct 14, 2024 · Updated Oct 16, 2024
Incorrect access control in SXFI AIR Control 2.00.02 allows remote attackers to download headset firmware through the update service. The ApplicationUpdateConstant class exposes update-service paths, and the server returns a manifest containing direct firmware URLs without device or user authentication. Possession of the reconstructed URL is sufficient to retrieve and analyze the firmware; the report does not demonstrate device compromise.
