After digging around the app and then a Reviver website, the researchers found Reviver assigned different roles to user accounts. Those included \u201cCONSUMER\u201d and \u201cCORPORATE.\u201d Eventually, the researchers identified a role called \u201cREVIVER,\u201d managed to change their account to it, which in turn granted them access to all sorts of data and capabilities, which included tracking the location of vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"33\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe could take any of the normal API calls (viewing vehicle location, updating vehicle plates, adding new users to accounts) and perform the action using our super administrator account with full authorization,\u201d Curry writes. \u201cWe could additionally access any dealer (e.g. Mercedes-Benz dealerships will often package REVIVER plates) and update the default image used by the dealer when the newly purchased vehicle still had DEALER tags.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"27\"><\/p>\n<p>Reviver told Motherboard in a statement that it patched the issues identified by the researchers.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"35\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud of our team\u2019s quick response, which patched our application in under 24 hours and took further measures to prevent this from occurring in the future.
