AutoPro / Mayton AutoPro2 Research Release

Public release package for authorized security research on the Mayton AutoPro2 / ly2601 wireless CarPlay adapter family. This repository keeps the useful documentation, findings, evidence summaries, and tools while excluding raw firmware images, extracted filesystems, payload packages, local agent instructions, and personal/API secrets.

Vulnerability Summary

ID Title Severity / CVSS CWE Short description
VULN-001 Bluetooth RFCOMM persistent DoS 6.5 CWE-404 Malformed or disrupted RFCOMM handling can leave Bluetooth services refusing connections until physical power cycle.
VULN-002 Unauthenticated Bluetooth services 7.4 CWE-306 RFCOMM channels for Wireless iAP, Android Auto, and HFP accepted connections without pairing in testing.
VULN-003 Unauthenticated unsigned firmware update 8.8-9.8 CWE-494 HTTP CGI update flow accepted update material without authentication or cryptographic signature verification.
VULN-004 FEL mode full chip access 6.8 CWE-1191 Reset-triggered Allwinner FEL mode allowed SPI flash read/write and JTAG enablement with physical access.
VULN-005 Hardcoded default credentials 7.5 CWE-798 Firmware used shared root and Wi-Fi credentials across the tested model family.
VULN-006 Weak password hashing 5.3 CWE-328 Root credential stored with legacy DES crypt.
VULN-007 Pre-Airborne CarPlay SDK exposure 8.8 CWE-416 / CWE-119 libcarplay.so and rcpservice predate 2025 AirBorne patches; rcpservice lacks stack canary.
VULN-008 Cloud credential exposure 7.5 CWE-798 CGI binary contained hardcoded Aliyun STS-related material.
VULN-009 Weak entropy behavior 5.9 CWE-331 Boot scripts replace /dev/random with a symlink to /dev/urandom.

Finding detail lives in:

  • findings/findingslist.md
  • findings/leads.md
  • reports/disclosure/DISCLOSURE-PROPER/vendor-security-advisory.md
  • reports/disclosure/DISCLOSURE-PROPER/cve-submissions.md
  • notes/NOTES/attack-surface.md
  • notes/NOTES/rfcomm-crash-finding.md
  • notes/NOTES/recv-overflow-analysis.md

Negative results are also included:

  • HFP AT-command fuzzing: 344 payloads tested, no crashes found.
  • btapp recv() overflow hypothesis: ruled out; callers allocate 0xffff buffers.
  • CGI command injection: ruled out for reviewed system() calls; calls used hardcoded strings.
  • lylinkapp port 8299: still not fully reversed; no confirmed crash in available notes.

Attack Surface

Surface Details
Wi-Fi AP Device hotspot at 192.168.1.101, WPA2-PSK, max clients 8, commonly observed on 5 GHz channel 36.
HTTP/CGI BusyBox HTTP server on port 80, CGI update and diagnostic endpoints.
Lylink control Proprietary TCP service on port 8299 used by control tooling.
CarPlay/iAP rcpservice, libcarplay.so, iAP/iAP2 libraries, multiple CarPlay-related ports.
Bluetooth btapp, BlueZ 5.63 fork, RFCOMM channels 1, 2, and 7 exposed in testing.
USB normal mode Apple-like USB gadget mode, 05ac:12a8.
USB CDC/A2A mode Reset-after-boot mode, 0525:a4a7, serial/broadcast device info path.
FEL boot ROM Reset-while-plugging USB mode, 1f3a:efe8, Allwinner low-level access.
Filesystems SquashFS root/customer partitions, JFFS2 logo and UDISK writable areas, /tmp tmpfs.

Tool Suite

Tool Path Purpose

Evidence And Reports

Path Use
evidence/logs/ Bluetooth fuzzing, RFCOMM, btmon, and runtime logs.
evidence/scans/ SDP, GATT, and LAN scan outputs.
evidence/re/ Static reverse-engineering notes for libcarplay, lylinkapp, and attack surface.
evidence/configs/ Extracted runtime/config files from the firmware.

Exclusions

The public tree intentionally excludes:

  • Raw firmware images and SPI flash dumps.
  • Extracted root filesystems and backup trees.
  • Payload directories and SWUpdate payload packages.
  • Shared-library blobs and unapproved binary blobs.
  • Prebuilt tool binaries.
  • Local agent instructions and personal/API credentials.
  • Internal release manifests and local artifact indexes.

Firmware hashes retained for traceability:

Quick Checks

From the project root, these should not list raw firmware blobs or payload directories:

find Release -type f \( -name '*.img' -o -name '*.rom' -o -name '*.iso' -o -name '*.qcow2' -o -name '*.vmdk' -o -name '*.so' \) -print
find Release -type d \( -path '*/payload' -o -path '*/payloads' -o -path '*/test_rootfs' -o -path '*/update_rootfs' -o -path '*/test_extracted' -o -path '*/update_extracted' -o -path '*/dongle-binaries' \) -print

Research Boundaries

This package is for authorized security research, vendor disclosure, reproducibility, and defensive review. Proof-of-concept payloads and raw exploit artifacts are not included in the public release tree.
