Emergency-stop disabling via default PLC credentials
Published Jun 24, 2020 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Hard-coded credentials in the safety PLC of Mobile Industrial Robots A/S MiR100 2.8.1.1 and earlier allow remote attackers to disable emergency stops. The controller retains a documented default password and accepts a manipulated safety program from the robot's internal network without requiring unique credentials. Access to that internal network is required; the altered program can suppress obstacle-triggered emergency stopping while navigation continues, making the unsafe state difficult to detect.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
