Summary
The vulnerability in the firmware update process of Kenwood DNR1007XR allows the use of symbolic links to move files to arbitrary locations. An attacker with physical access, without authentication, can execute arbitrary code as root.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes the possibility of manipulating system files by an attacker with physical access, potentially leading to privilege escalation and full device control.
Recommendation
It is recommended to restrict physical access to the device and apply vendor updates or patches if available.

Original NVD description (English source)
Kenwood DNR1007XR Firmware Update Link Following Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows physically present attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Kenwood DNR1007XR devices. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the firmware update process. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to move a file to an arbitrary location. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-28751.
