CVE-2020-10272: RVD#2554: MiR ROS computational graph presents no authentication mechanisms

Published Jun 24, 2020
·
Updated

MiR100, MiR200 and other MiR robots use the Robot Operating System (ROS) default packages exposing the computational graph without any sort of authentication. This allows attackers with access to the internal wireless and wired networks to take control of the robot seamlessly. In combination with CVE-2020-10269 and CVE-2020-10271, this flaw allows malicious actors to command the robot at desire.
