The goTenna Pro ATAK plugin uses a weak password for sharing encryption
keys via the key broadcast method. If the broadcasted encryption key is
captured over RF, and password is cracked via brute force attack, it is
possible to decrypt it and use it to decrypt all future and past
messages sent via encrypted broadcast with that particular key. This
only applies when the key is broadcasted over RF. This is an optional
feature, so it is advised to use local QR encryption key sharing for
additional security on this and previous versions.

Fixes

Solution

goTenna recommends that users mitigate these vulnerabilities by performing the following updates: * ATAK Plugin: v2.0.7 or greater


Workaround

goTenna recommends that users follow these mitigations: General Mitigations for All Users/Clients * Use Discreet Callsigns and Key Names: Choose callsigns and key names that do not disclose sensitive information, such as your location, team size, or team name. Avoid using any identifiers that could inadvertently reveal your location or the composition of your team. * Secure End-User Devices: Implement strong security measures on all end-user devices, including the use of encryption and ensuring regular software updates. * Follow Key Rotation Best Practices: Regularly rotate encryption keys according to industry best practices to maintain ongoing security. Pro-Specific Mitigations * Share Encryption Keys via QR Code: Utilize QR codes, similar to ATAK, for the secure exchange of encryption keys. * Secure Broadcasting: When broadcasting, ensure you are in a secured area and transmit the key at a reduced power of 0.5 Watts to limit exposure. * Leverage Layered Encryption: Implement layered encryption keys to securely manage communications, whether interacting with individuals or teams.

Description In the goTenna Pro ATAK Plugin application, the encryption keys are stored along with a static IV on the device. This allows for complete decryption of keys stored on the device. This allows an attacker to decrypt all encrypted broadcast communications based on broadcast keys stored on the device.
