What is CVE-2020-10271?

CVE-2020-10271 is a critical vulnerability in Mobile Industrial Robots A/S MiR100, published on 24 Jun 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

MiR100, MiR200 and other MiR robots use the Robot Operating System (ROS) default packages exposing the computational graph to all network interfaces, wireless and wired. This is the result of a bad set up and can be mitigated by appropriately configuring ROS and/or applying custom patches as appropriate. Currently, the ROS computational graph can be accessed fully from the wired exposed ports. In combination with other flaws such as CVE-2020-10269, the computation graph can also be fetched and interacted from wireless networks. This allows a malicious operator to take control of the ROS logic and correspondingly, the complete robot given that MiR's operations are centered around the framework (ROS).

Weakness: CWE-668
