Control-link interruption via replayed pairing frames
Published Feb 2, 2026 · Updated Feb 2, 2026
Authentication bypass in DJI Mavic Mini, Mavic Air, Spark and Mini SE 01.00.0500 and earlier allows remote attackers to sever control links. Enhanced Wi-Fi uses WEP and accepts a static, non-device-unique pairing sequence; after recovering the key, attackers can re-encrypt and replay the sequence as IEEE 802.11 frames. Wireless proximity and WEP-key recovery are required, and continued frame injection interrupts control and telemetry while it persists, including in flight.
