Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization due to the incorrect application of the COM_DISARM_LAND logic in the Commander::handle_command() function. An attacker within radio range can bypass all pre-flight safety checks, including the throttle threshold check, by switching to Manual mode and re-arming within 5 seconds of an automatic landing, which can result in immediate high-thrust takeoff and potential loss of control.
