Kenwood DNR1007XR Firmware Update Link Following Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows physically present attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Kenwood DNR1007XR devices. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the firmware update process. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to move a file to an arbitrary location. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-28751.
AnalysisAI
Root code execution on the Kenwood DNR1007XR in-vehicle navigation receiver is reachable by anyone with physical access to the device, requiring no authentication. The firmware update service improperly resolves symbolic links during file move operations (CWE-59), allowing an attacker who can write a symlink to the device filesystem to redirect that file operation to an arbitrary path and ultimately execute code with root privileges. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Physical presence at the device is the mandatory prerequisite - the CVSS vector AV:P explicitly confirms this, and no remote or adjacent-network attack path exists. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.0 vector CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H assigns a base score of 6.8, correctly reflecting the physical attack vector (AV:P) as the primary limiting factor. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Check the Kenwood firmware update page at https://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/mm/firmware/2020/2020f/eng.html for an updated firmware release that addresses this symlink vulnerability. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
