Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Flock Safety Android Collins application (aka com.flocksafety.android.collins) 6.35.31 for Android lacks authentication. It is responsible for the camera feed on Falcon, Sparrow, and Bravo devices, but exposes administrative API endpoints on port 8080 without authentication. Endpoints include but are not limited to: /reboot, /logs, /crashpack, and /adb/enable. This results in multiple impacts including denial of service (DoS) via /reboot, information disclosure via /logs, and remote code execution (RCE) via /adb/enable. The latter specifically results in adb being started over TCP without debugging confirmation, providing an attacker in the LAN/WLAN with shell access.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Flock Safety Android Collins application (version 6.35.31) used for camera feeds on Falcon, Sparrow, and Bravo devices exposes unauthenticated administrative API endpoints on port 8080. Attackers can access /reboot for denial of service, /logs for information disclosure, and /adb/enable which enables adb over TCP without debugging confirmation, providing remote code execution and shell access to anyone on the local network.

MitigationImplement authentication on all API endpoints, restrict network access to port 8080 via firewall rules or network segmentation, and apply any available vendor patches.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check Flock Safety app version
    On the Android device, navigate to Settings > Apps > Flock Safety, or use ADB: `adb shell dumpsys package com.flocksafety.collins | grep versionName`
    Affected if Version displayed is exactly 6.35.31
  2. Verify port 8080 is listening
    From the device, run `adb shell netstat -tulpn | grep 8080`. Alternatively, scan the device from the network: `nmap -p 8080 <device-ip>`
    Affected if Port 8080 is open and bound to a service
  3. Test /reboot endpoint accessibility
    Send an unauthenticated HTTP request to the endpoint: `curl -v http://<device-ip>:8080/reboot`
    Affected if Request returns a response without HTTP 401 or 403 authentication error
  4. Test /logs endpoint accessibility
    Send an unauthenticated HTTP request: `curl -v http://<device-ip>:8080/logs`
    Affected if Request returns log data or directory listing without requiring authentication
  5. Test /adb/enable endpoint accessibility
    Send an unauthenticated HTTP request: `curl -v http://<device-ip>:8080/adb/enable`
    Affected if Request returns success response enabling ADB over TCP without requiring debug confirmation

Your environment is affected if Flock Safety Collins app version 6.35.31 is installed AND port 8080 is exposed on the network with any of these unauthenticated endpoints responding successfully.
