CVE-2026-71644
A critical flaw in the Robotics-STAR-Lab (SYSU STAR Group) RACER Tested software allows an attacker to disrupt safe flight paths and potentially cause UAV collisions. The vulnerability stems from a missing default case in a finite‑state machine that stops publishing swarm trajectories when a drone enters the IDLE state. It can be triggered remotely over the network without any user interaction.
No official fix yet. If none appears within 45 days of first tracking, this entry is removed automatically.
Who is affected
Robotics-STAR-Lab (SYSU STAR Group) RACER Tested, affected by commit abcdef1234567890.
Real-world impact
An attacker could force drones to follow unsafe trajectories, leading to collisions or crashes, which could damage property, harm people, or compromise mission objectives.
Why this severity
The CVSS score of 9.8 reflects that the flaw is exploitable over the network (AV:N), requires no user interaction (UI:N), and can be executed with no privileges (PR:N). The low attack complexity (AC:L) and lack of required authentication mean almost anyone can exploit it, and the impact is complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H).
What to do about it
No official fix or mitigation is documented in the sources yet. Monitor the vendor advisory and apply the patch as soon as it is released.
