Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could lead to privilege escalation, data exfiltration, control of the robot, and a denial-of-service condition.
MiR reports the vulnerabilities affect the following products:
**NOTE:**the MiR Hook and Shelf Carrier are not affected.
An authenticated local attacker with an account on the MiR robot operating system can exploit a Linux kernel vulnerability to perform privilege escalation to root or cause a denial-of-service condition.
CVE-2017-7184 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
A handler in the Linux kernel prior to Version 4.11 allows local users to cause a denial-of-service condition or other unspecified impact(s) via use of a large value.
CVE-2017-18255 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Two APIs to the Robot Operating System (ROS) used in MiR robots were accessible from both wired and wireless network interfaces. Using these APIs, an attacker could take control of the robot, cause a denial-of-service condition, and exfiltrate data over the web interface.
CVE-2020-10271 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Robot Operating System (ROS) default packages are used, which expose the computational graph without any authentication. This could allow an attacker with access to the internal wireless and wired networks to take control of the robot.
CVE-2020-10272 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 8.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
An attacker with physical access to the hard drive, or an attacker with a local account on the robot operating system could extract sensitive data.
CVE-2020-10273 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 6.2 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
MiR robots shipped before June 2020 had default passwords set for the SICK safety PLC. An attacker with access to the internal network of the robot could use the default credentials to manipulate the safety PLC, effectively disabling the emergency stop function.
CVE-2020-10276 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 8.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
MiR robots ship with the option to boot from a connected USB drive. The ability to boot from USB is an insecure default configuration that is changeable by integrators. Integrators are informed and instructed in writing to evaluate disabling USB boot. If left enabled, an attacker with physical access to the robot could abuse this functionality to manipulate or exfiltrate data stored on the robot’s hard drive.
CVE-2020-10277 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 6.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H).
The lack of a BIOS password is an insecure default configuration, changeable by integrators. Integrators are informed and instructed in writing to evaluate BIOS protection.
CVE-2020-10278 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 4.6 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N).
MiR software versions prior to v2.8.3 contain system configurations with insecure defaults, allowing an authorized local attacker with access to the robot operating system (ROS) to perform privilege escalation or cause denial-of-service.
CVE-2020-10279 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 8.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
The Apache server on Port 80 hosting the web interface is vulnerable to a denial-of-service condition when an attacker spams incomplete HTTP headers, effectively blocking the access to the dashboard.
CVE-2020-10280 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Victor Mayoral Vilches of Alias Robotics reported these vulnerabilities to CISA.
MiR recommends users upgrade affected products to the latest version. New software versions can be found on the MiR Distributor portal (login required).
For more information, refer to MiR’s security advisories page.
MiR instructs customers to explicitly change default credentials upon configuring the robots, including default SSID and password to the WiFi access point.
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should:
CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on us-cert.cisa.gov. Several recommended practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage on us-cert.cisa.gov in the Technical Information Paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B–Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies.
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their established internal procedures and report their findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents.
