Exploitation Conditions

Local access to Android device running Unitree Go2 application (com.unitree.doggo2) with Unitree Go2 robot firmware versions 1.1.7–1.1.11. Attacker must modify unitree_go2.db SQLite database dog_programme table pyCode field before synchronization to robot.

Impact

CVSS 9.6. Physical safety concern — unauthorized control of a mobile robot could cause injury or property damage.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

Attacker sends commands to a Unitree Go2 robot through the unprotected communication channel, taking physical control of the robot's movement.

DescriptionCVE.org

Unitree Go2 firmware versions 1.1.7 through 1.1.11, when used with the Unitree Go2 Android application (com.unitree.doggo2), are vulnerable to remote code execution due to missing integrity protection and validation of user-created programmes. The Android application stores programs in a local SQLite database (unitree_go2.db, table dog_programme) and transmits the programme_text content, including the pyCode field, to the robot. The robot's actuator_manager.py executes the supplied Python as root without integrity verification or content validation. An attacker with local access to the Android device can tamper with the stored programme record to inject arbitrary Python that executes when the user triggers the program via a controller keybinding, and the malicious binding persists across reboots. Additionally, a malicious program shared through the application's community marketplace can result in arbitrary code execution on any robot that imports and runs it.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using Unitree Go2 robots with affected firmware versions (1.1.7-1.1.11) face critical remote code execution risk, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands on robotic systems without authentication. This vulnerability requires immediate action as public exploits exist and patches are unavailable, potentially compromising operational safety, data security, and physical assets.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Network segmentation: isolate affected robots on air-gapped or restricted VLAN; disable remote program upload feature in Go2 Android application if operational requirements permit; implement strict firewall rules allowing robot communication only from whitelisted administrative IP addresses; monitor for suspicious program uploads or robot command execution; disable the dog_programme execution feature entirely if not critical to operations; require manual code review and approval before any program execution; disable direct internet access for affected robots.

Attack Technique

SQL injection exploits the way applications construct database queries by mixing user input directly into SQL statements.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
