CVE-2026-8153Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via unneutralized Dashboard commands

Published May 8, 2026 · Updated May 8, 2026

OS command injection in Universal Robots PolyScope 5 before 5.25.1 allows remote attackers to execute code through Dashboard Server. The Dashboard Server passes user-controlled command text to the underlying operating system without neutralizing special command elements. Exploitation requires the service to be enabled in the UI and TCP port 29999 to be reachable, after which the controller can be compromised without authentication.
