CVE-2023-29156

Denial of Service due to loss of information in DroneScout ds230 Remote ID receiver from BlueMark Innovations

Description

DroneScout ds230 Remote ID receiver from BlueMark Innovations is affected by an information loss vulnerability through traffic injection. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting, at the right times, spoofed Open Drone ID (ODID) messages which force the DroneScout ds230 Remote ID receiver to drop real Remote ID (RID) information and, instead, generate and transmit JSON encoded MQTT messages containing crafted RID information. Consequently, the MQTT broker, typically operated by a system integrator, will have no access to the drones’ real RID information. This issue affects DroneScout ds230 in default configuration from firmware version 20211210-1627 through 20230329-1042.

Remediation

Workaround:

  • Starting from firmware 20221208-1250 the user can set the configuration entry transmit_mode to 0 (or 2 if there are concerns regarding overloading of the MQTT broker) and transmit every RID data captured to the MQTT broker managed by the system integrator.
