Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is classified as Incorrect Default Permissions (CWE-276), which allows attackers to access resources due to overly permissive default settings. MiR robot controllers (central computation unit) makes use of Ubuntu 16.04.2 an operating system, Thought for desktop uses, this operating system presents insecure defaults for robots. These insecurities include a way for users to escalate their access beyond what they were granted via file creation, access race conditions, insecure home directory configurations and defaults that facilitate Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Affected products include: Aliasrobotics Mir100 Firmware, Aliasrobotics Mir200 Firmware, Aliasrobotics Mir250 Firmware, Aliasrobotics Mir500 Firmware, Aliasrobotics Mir1000 Firmware.

How this decision was reached
The engine reads each signal below and applies a fixed list of rules from top to bottom. The first rule that matches sets the recommended action – like a statement, every line is shown.
What every action level means
SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker leverages flaws in access control mechanisms to gain permissions beyond what they were originally granted.
Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
