Root command execution via unsanitized Wi-Fi settings
Published Sep 26, 2025 · Updated Sep 26, 2025
OS command injection in Unitree Go2, G1, H1, and B2 devices through 2025-09-20 allows physically proximate attackers to execute commands as root. The BLE Wi-Fi service accepts a shared handshake secret and passes attacker-controlled wifi_ssid or wifi_pass data into a sudo shell command through system() without validation. Bluetooth Low Energy range and a six-message configuration sequence are required; successful exploitation grants full device control without user interaction.

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.
