| Step | Action | Technical Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | MITM Position | Network traffic is intercepted via ARP Spoofing or a fake Wi-Fi hotspot |
| 2 | DNS Hijack | DNS responses for update.miui.com are redirected to the attacker's server |
| 3 | Hash Injection | A partial malicious hash is injected into the ota_hashes.db database |
| 4 | Malicious OTA Package | A fake update.zip with X-Xiaomi-Fast-Channel: true header is created |
| 5 | RSA Bypass | MiuiRecoveryVerifier sees the Fast Channel header and skips RSA verification |
| 6 | Hash Bypass | quickHashCheck → partial match with strstr() → BYPASS |
| 7 | RCE | Malicious system.img is flashed in recovery mode → Persistent Root |
