Root code execution via USB mount permissions
Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Incorrect default permissions in the USB mount point in JVCKENWOOD DNR1007XR 1.7.0003.1000 allow physically present attackers to execute code as root. The flaw is in the USB filesystem mount-point configuration, where a product directory is exposed with overly permissive access instead of root-only permissions. Exploitation requires prior low-privileged code execution and physical access to the device, after which the writable mount path can be used to gain full root execution on the head unit.

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.
