Root escalation via incorrect udhcpd permissions
Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Privilege escalation in Kenwood DNR1007XR 1.7.0003.1000 allows local attackers to execute code as root via udhcpd. The flaw is in the udhcpd service, which assigns overly broad permissions to a resource it uses, allowing low-privileged code to alter that resource and cross into root context. Exploitation requires prior low-privileged code execution on the device, so exposure is limited to already compromised or otherwise locally reachable units but can end in full device takeover.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
