Friday Squid Blogging: Squid Proteins for a Better Face Mask

Researchers are synthesizing squid proteins to create a face mask that better survives cleaning. And you thought there was no connection between squid and COVID-19. The military thinks this might have applications for self-healing robots. As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about t...

CVE-2020-10279 RVD#2569: Insecure operating system defaults in MiR robots

CVE-2020-10273 RVD#2560: Unprotected intellectual property in Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) controllers

MiR controllers across firmware versions 2.8.1.1 and before do not encrypt or protect in any way the intellectual property artifacts installed in the robots. This flaw allows attackers with access to the robot or the robot network while in combination with other flaws to retrieve and easily...

CVE-2020-10271

MiR robots (MiR100, MiR200, MiR250, MiR500, MiR1000, and MiR Fleet prior to versions stated in advisories) expose the ROS computation graph over internal networks due to default ROS packages and authentication gaps. CVE-2020-10271 is described as the Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere: the comp...

CVE-2020-10271 RVD#2555: MiR ROS computational graph is exposed to all network interfaces, including poorly secured wireless networks and open wired ones

MiR100, MiR200 and other MiR robots use the Robot Operating System ROS default packages exposing the computational graph to all network interfaces, wireless and wired. This is the result of a bad set up and can be mitigated by appropriately configuring ROS and/or applying custom patches as...

CVE-2020-10272

CVE-2020-10272 affects MiR100, MiR200 and other MiR robots using ROS default packages that expose the computational graph without authentication. This allows attackers with access to internal networks to take control of the robot. The issue is part of a multi-vulnerability stack (alongside CVE-20...

CVE-2020-10272 RVD#2554: MiR ROS computational graph presents no authentication mechanisms

MiR100, MiR200 and other MiR robots use the Robot Operating System ROS default packages exposing the computational graph without any sort of authentication. This allows attackers with access to the internal wireless and wired networks to take control of the robot seamlessly. In combination with...

Information Disclosure Vulnerability in KUKA Robots at KUKA AG (CNVD-2020-41309)

KUKA robots are suitable for numerous jobs with different load capacities. An information disclosure vulnerability exists in KUKA robots from KUKA AG. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability to obtain sensitive information...

Securing Smart Manufacturing

“Alexa, turn on the TV.” ”Get it yourself.” This nightmare scenario could play out millions of times unless people take steps to protect their IoT devices. The situation is even worse in industrial settings. Smart manufacturing, that is, Industry 4.0, relies on tight integration between IT system...
