Adjacent message spoofing via weak radio authentication
Published May 1, 2025 · Updated May 1, 2025
Weak authentication in goTenna v1 app 5.5.3 and firmware 0.25.5 allows attackers to inject messages via software-defined radio. The app accepts radio messages carrying attacker-chosen GID, Callsign, and content without authenticating the sender. Exploitation requires radio proximity and either an unencrypted network or compromised cryptography, enabling spoofed messages in an existing v1 network.
