CVE-2020-10272Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Robot takeover via unauthenticated ROS interfaces

Published Jun 24, 2020 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Missing authentication in ROS interfaces on Mobile Industrial Robots MiR100 2.8.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to control the robot. The ros-master and ros-bridge expose the ROS computational graph without authentication on wired and robot-hosted wireless interfaces. Network access to those interfaces is required; commands can control or stop the robot and exfiltrate data, while the emergency stop remains unaffected.
