MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires the attacker to execute a local application (needing no Android permissions and no user interaction) on a DJI CrystalSky ZS600C device running firmware v0.3.9.7 through v0.6.6.9; the app must reach the native binder service 'android.dji.server' and invoke transaction code 1018, whose handler forwards the caller-supplied string to system() in the root 'assistant' daemon with no caller-identity or permission check. Limiting factors that reduce real-world risk: the attacker must already be able to run code on the physical device (local vector only, no network reachability), the flaw is confined to the listed firmware range, and the target is specialized DJI drone-control hardware rather than general-purpose or internet-facing infrastructure. No fixed firmware version is provided in the available data. |
| Impact | The reported CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.6 (High), driven by a HIGH technical impact (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H - arbitrary OS command execution as root) combined with a trivially reachable trigger (AC:L, AT:N, PR:N, UI:N). The decisive mitigating signal is the attack vector: AV:L means exploitation requires an attacker to already be able to run code locally on the CrystalSky ZS600C device - this is a local privilege-escalation flaw, not a remotely reachable one. No CISA KEV listing is present, so there is no confirmed active exploitation, and no EPSS probability was supplied, so widespread-exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the input. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week' (not act_now/emergency), which is consistent with a severe-but-locally-gated flaw. These signals are coherent rather than conflicting: high impact and low attack complexity pull toward urgency, while the local-only vector and a niche, specialized target product pull against mass-exploitation risk. Net assessment: a genuine high-severity privilege-escalation issue that matters most to organizations actually operating DJI CrystalSky ZS600C hardware, but not a broad internet-facing emergency. Note that no vendor (DJI) advisory or fixed firmware version is present in the input, so remediation status is unverified. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A malicious or trojanized Android application - installed or sideloaded onto the CrystalSky ZS600C monitor, requiring no Android permissions - issues binder transaction code 1018 to the 'android.dji.server' service. The root-privileged 'assistant' daemon passes the caller-supplied string straight to system() with no caller-identity or permission check, so the attacker's command runs as root and yields full device takeover. A public research write-up describing the flaw exists (Cyber Defence Campus / NCSC.ch), though it is not verified in the input as working exploit code. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 23, 2026
Missing authorization in DJI CrystalSky ZS600C firmware v0.3.9.7 through v0.6.6.9 allows a local application with no Android permissions to invoke binder transaction 1018 on android.dji.server and execute arbitrary OS commands as root through the root-privileged assistant daemon. The attack is local only and requires the ability to run code on the physical device; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. The reported CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.6 (High), and the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment is AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis, and no fixed firmware version is provided in the available data; apply a DJI firmware update once one is published and track the public reference at https://cyber-defence-campus.github.io/projects/vulnerabilities/CVE-2026-114354 for updates. Until then, because the vector is local and requires running an app on the device, compensating controls are to enforce an application allowlist so only signed, trusted apps can execute (this blocks sideloaded attack apps but requires MDM or equivalent management), disable developer options and USB debugging where operationally acceptable (this reduces local tooling paths but can impede diagnostics), and restrict physical and network access to the device (this does not remove the local binder attack surface).

Technical ContextAI · show details
Android Binder is the inter-process communication mechanism used by native services; here the native service android.dji.server exposes transaction code 1018, whose handler forwards a caller-supplied string to system() in the root-privileged assistant daemon without any caller-identity or permission check. That is a CWE-862 missing authorization failure that turns into command execution in a root context for any local app able to reach the binder interface. The local app needs no declared Android permissions and no user interaction, which is consistent with PR:N and UI:N in the assessed vector. The reported CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.6 (High), driven by high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact; the independent CVSS 3.1 vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H reflects the same local-only, no-permission, high-impact profile. No network reachability or remote pre-auth path is described in the available data.

DescriptionCVE.org
Missing authorization in the native binder service 'android.dji.server' (transaction code 1018) in DJI CrystalSky ZS600C firmware v0.3.9.7 through v0.6.6.9 on Android allows a local application with no permissions to execute arbitrary OS commands as root, because the handler passes a caller-supplied string to system() in the root-privileged 'assistant' daemon without any caller-identity or permission check.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-114354 is a high-severity authorization flaw in DJI CrystalSky ZS600C firmware that allows any local app, without requiring Android permissions, to execute arbitrary root commands on the device. This impacts organizations using these devices for field operations, as a compromised or malicious app could gain full control, leading to data exfiltration, persistent access, or operational disruption. Leadership should prioritize mitigation because the flaw requires only local access and no exploit code is publicly available, but the potential for privilege escalation is severe.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting device use to trusted applications, disabling installation from unknown sources, implementing application allowlisting, enforcing physical security, monitoring for suspicious binder transactions, and isolating devices on segmented networks.
