Kenwood DNR1007XR USB Incorrect Default Permissions Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows physically present attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Kenwood DNR1007XR devices. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the configuration of the mount point for the USB filesystem. The issue results from incorrect permissions on a directory used by the product. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-29070.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation to root on the Kenwood DNR1007XR car navigation/dashcam device is possible for physically present attackers who already hold low-privileged code execution on the device. The USB filesystem mount point is configured with incorrect default permissions (CWE-276), allowing a low-privileged process to write to or manipulate that directory and escalate to root with full code execution capability. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Two prerequisites must both be satisfied: (1) the attacker must be physically present with the Kenwood DNR1007XR device (CVSS AV:P confirms no remote exploitation path), and (2) the attacker must already possess the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target device - this is not a standalone privilege escalation from pure physical USB insertion but requires an existing foothold. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.0 vector AV:P/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H yields a base score of 6.6, which accurately reflects the constrained attack surface: physical presence and prior low-privileged code execution are both mandatory prerequisites. … 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 | Apply the latest available firmware from Kenwood's official firmware distribution page (https://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/mm/firmware/2020/2020f/eng.html); however, the specific version that resolves this permission misconfiguration has not been independently confirmed from available data - verify with Kenwood support that the firmware explicitly addresses ZDI-26-490 or CVE-2026-18273 before considering the system patched. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
