GRIMM said the research was undertaken in response to a security audit requested by an unnamed defense and public safety technology vendor that sought to "investigate the privacy implications of DJI drones within the Android DJI GO 4 application."
Reverse engineering the app, Synacktiv said it uncovered the existence of a URL ("hxxps://service-adhoc.dji.com/app/upgrade/public/check") that it uses to download an application update and prompt the user to grant permission to "Install Unknown Apps."
"We modified this request to trigger a forced update to an arbitrary application, which prompted the user first for allowing the installation of untrusted applications, then blocking him from using the application until the update was installed," the researchers said."
