Risky Biz News | Drone security research: New research from IOActive shows that unmanned aerial vehicles are vulnerable to electromagnetic fault injection (EMFI) attacks that can allow a threat actor to run malicious code even if the drone is running up-to-date firmware. The attack was successfully tested against a DJI Mavic Pro drone, but in theory, it should work on other vendors and models as well.

gbhackers.com | Based on the recent reports by IOActive, Drones, also called Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), are vulnerable to code injection, which would result in gaining complete access to the firmware and core functionality of the drone. Drones have been used in many industries like aviation, agriculture, and law enforcement. They are often operated remotely, which offers an attack surface for threat actors to gain control over them.
