Description
The HTTP media server running on DJI drones serves stored photos and videos through the `/v2` endpoint without authenticating the requesting client. Filenames follow a predictable pattern, allowing an attacker who joins the drone's internal network to enumerate valid filenames and exfiltrate stored photos and videos. The exposed media may reveal sensitive information, including private locations, property, travel history, identifiable individuals, and the operator's routines.

Affected models are DJI Neo until 01.00.0400, DJI Neo 2 until 01.00.0500, DJI Flip until 01.00.1200, DJI Air 3 until 01.00.1600, DJI Air 3S until 01.00.1400, DJI Avata 2 until 01.00.0400, DJI Avata 360 until 01.00.0300, DJI Mavic 3 until 01.00.1400, DJI Mavic 3 Classic until 01.00.0800, DJI Mavic 3 Pro until 01.01.0700, DJI Mavic 4 Pro until 01.00.0500, DJI Mini 2 until 01.07.0200, DJI Mini 3 until 01.00.0500, DJI Mini 3 Pro until 01.00.0900, DJI Mini 4 Pro until 01.00.1100, and DJI Mini 5 Pro until 01.00.0600.

AI Analysis

Impact

The HTTP media server on DJI drones enables users to retrieve stored photos and videos via the /v2 endpoint without any form of authentication. Because filenames use a predictable scheme, an individual who gains network connectivity to the drone’s internal wireless interface can enumerate valid filenames and download media files. The exposed content can reveal sensitive information such as private locations, property, travel history, identifiable individuals, and operational patterns, constituting a confidentiality breach.

Affected Systems

Affected drone models include DJI Neo, Neo 2, Flip, Air 3, Air 3S, Avata 2, Avata 360, Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Classic, Mavic 3 Pro, Mavic 4 Pro, Mini 2, Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro and Mini 5 Pro, up to the listed firmware versions.

Risk and Exploitability

This vulnerability is rated with a CVSS score of 8.7, indicating high severity. The EPSS score is unavailable, so the exact likelihood of exploitation is unknown, but the flaw has been included in the DJI documentation and is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker must first connect to the drone’s local network, which typically requires physical proximity or compromised Wi‑Fi credentials. Once connected, an attacker can enumerate file names and exfiltrate media without any authentication, resulting in a direct compromise of confidential data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Up to date the drone firmware to the latest release that addresses the file‑exfiltration issue; contact DJI support for confirmation of the fix
  • Restrict access to the drone’s internal Wi‑Fi network and/or block the /v2 endpoint with a firewall or access‑control list
  • If configurable, disable the HTTP media server or enable authentication for the media endpoint
