Session interception and hijacking via unencrypted Wi-Fi
Published Oct 1, 2026 · Updated Oct 1, 2026
Unencrypted 802.11 traffic in Teledyne FLIR Aware2 6.9.0.2 and earlier allows physically proximate attackers to intercept PackBot sessions. The reported robot-control link carries session traffic without encryption, exposing it to wireless sniffing and traffic modification; no specific protocol or code path is publicly identified. Attackers must be within radio range of an active link; the reported consequences concern session traffic, not established control of the robot.
