Exploitation Conditions

The robot must be reachable over the network - attack vector is network (AV:N) per the CVSS vector, requiring no physical or local access. No authentication is required because the algorithm is incorrectly implemented, not merely absent, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to satisfy the handshake. No special configuration beyond network connectivity is needed; the flaw appears present in default device operation. Exploitation is constrained to the DEEBOT PRO M1 and K1VAC models specifically - no other Ecovacs products are confirmed affected. If the robot resides on a private LAN without external exposure, the attacker must first gain local network access (e.g., same Wi-Fi segment), which partially limits opportunistic exploitation from the public internet.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 (Medium) reflects a network-accessible (AV:N), low-complexity (AC:L), unauthenticated (PR:N, UI:N) attack path with limited integrity impact (I:L) and no confidentiality or availability impact. The AC:L and PR:N combination lowers the exploitation bar significantly, requiring no special knowledge or prior credentials. However, real-world criticality is constrained by the nature of the affected asset - a consumer robot vacuum - which represents a low-criticality system in most environments. EPSS probability data is not included in available intelligence, so exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified numerically. This CVE is not in the CISA KEV catalog, and no public proof-of-concept has been identified, consistent with a coordinated disclosure via JVN/JPCERT rather than a discovered-in-the-wild scenario. The aggregate risk is further limited by the relatively narrow installed base of these two specific consumer models.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker on the same local network - or reachable over the internet if the robot's WebSocket endpoint is externally exposed - initiates a WebSocket connection to the device. Due to the incorrectly implemented authentication algorithm (CWE-303), the handshake succeeds without valid credentials, granting the attacker an authorized-equivalent session from which they can issue commands to start or stop cleaning cycles, direct movement, or interact with any onboard sensors or camera features. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 10, 2026

Remote unauthenticated control of Ecovacs Robotics DEEBOT PRO M1 and K1VAC robot vacuums is possible due to an incorrectly implemented authentication algorithm in their WebSocket communications interface. Any network-reachable attacker can connect to and issue operational commands to affected robots without valid credentials (AV:N, PR:N per CVSS vector). No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

RemediationAI

Apply the firmware update referenced in the vendor advisory published March 31, 2026 at https://robot.hellohas.co.jp/news/update_20260331/. An exact patched firmware version number is not independently confirmed from the available reference data - consult the advisory directly for version specifics. As a compensating control pending firmware update, place the robot on an isolated IoT VLAN or dedicated network segment inaccessible from untrusted hosts; this neutralizes the network-vector attack path without affecting device functionality. If network segmentation is not feasible, blocking or filtering access to the device's WebSocket port at the perimeter reduces external exposure. These controls limit reachability but do not remediate the underlying CWE-303 authentication flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability affects the WebSocket communication layer used by Ecovacs Robotics DEEBOT PRO M1 (cpe:2.3:a:ecovacs_robotics:deebot_pro_m1) and DEEBOT PRO K1VAC (cpe:2.3:a:ecovacs_robotics:deebot_pro_k1vac) robot vacuums, across all tracked versions per available CPE wildcard data. CWE-303 (Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm) indicates the authentication mechanism exists by design but contains a logic or cryptographic flaw in its execution - for example, a bypassable token validation, predictable nonce, or improperly enforced challenge-response - rather than a complete absence of authentication. WebSocket-based IoT control interfaces are a known attack surface in consumer robotics, as they typically handle real-time movement commands and sensor interactions over persistent connections.
