Overview
CVE-2025-59407 is a high-risk vulnerability found in Flock Safety’s DetectionProcessing application for Android, specifically version 6.35.33. This application is installed on Falcon and Sparrow License Plate Readers and Bravo Edge AI Compute Devices, making it a significant security concern for organizations that utilize these devices. The vulnerability lies in the application bundling a Java Keystore with a hardcoded password in its code, creating a security loophole that could potentially be exploited by malicious actors.
The severity of this vulnerability cannot be understated as it presents a direct risk to system integrity and data security. It’s also important to note that it’s not just the organizations that use these devices who are at risk, but also the individuals whose information is processed through them. The risk of a potential system compromise or data leakage makes this vulnerability a major cybersecurity concern.

How the Exploit Works
The Flock Safety DetectionProcessing application for Android includes a Java Keystore (flock_rye.bks) in its code. Along with this keystore, the application has a hardcoded password (flockhibiki17). The keystore contains a private key that, when accessed using the hardcoded password, can compromise the security of the system. An attacker could use this information to gain unauthorized access to the system and potentially extract sensitive data.
Conceptual Example Code
Given the nature of this vulnerability, an example exploit would involve using the hardcoded password to access the private key inside the Java Keystore. This could look something like this:
// This is a conceptual example and may not work as-is
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("BKS");
InputStream fis = new FileInputStream("path/to/flock_rye.bks");
keyStore.load(fis, "flockhibiki17".toCharArray()); // hardcoded passwordRecommendations for Mitigation
The best course of action to mitigate this vulnerability is to apply the patch provided by the vendor. If a patch is not immediately available, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation measure. These systems can help monitor and block any suspicious activities related to this vulnerability. It is also recommended to follow best practices for secure coding, such as not hardcoding sensitive data like passwords and regularly updating and patching all software and systems.
