Wireless takeover via unauthenticated Bluetooth DUML commands
Published Aug 24, 2026 · Updated Aug 24, 2026
Missing authentication in affected DJI drone firmware allows physically proximate attackers to alter wireless settings and interrupt links. The Bluetooth DUML command interface accepts unauthenticated writes to Wi-Fi parameters and commands that restart or disable wireless interfaces. Bluetooth proximity is required; replacing the PSK enables internal Wi-Fi access, while destructive commands disconnect control, video, and telemetry links.

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.
