HIGH 7.8

DescriptionCVE.org

Since the encryption algorithm used to protect firmware updates is itself encrypted using key material available to an attacker (or anyone paying attention), the firmware updates may be altered by an unauthorized user, and then trusted by a Unitree product, such as the Unitree Go2 and other models. This issue appears to affect all of Unitree’s current offerings as of February 26, 2026, and so should be considered a vulnerability in both the firmware generation and extraction processes. At the time of this release, there is no publicly-documented mechanism to subvert the update process and insert poisoned firmware packages without the equipment owner’s knowledge.

AnalysisAI

Unitree robotics firmware updates can be modified and executed by local attackers due to inadequate encryption of the firmware protection mechanism, allowing arbitrary code execution on affected Go1 and Go2 models. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, and no patch is currently available. …

Persist
Deliver modified firmware to Unitree device
Impact
Execute arbitrary code on robot

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Local access to firmware update files or update delivery mechanism; attacker must have obtained the encryption key material used by Unitree's firmware generation process, which is reportedly available to attackers; user interaction required to initiate firmware update on Unitree Go2 or other affected Unitree robot models. Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 7.8 (HIGH). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
