AI description
CVE-2026-27510 is a remote code execution vulnerability impacting Unitree Go2 quadruped robot firmware versions 1.1.7 through 1.1.11, specifically when these robots are used in conjunction with the Unitree Go2 Android application (com.unitree.doggo2). The vulnerability arises from a lack of integrity protection and validation for user-created programs. The Android application stores these programs, which can contain Python code, in a local SQLite database. When a user initiates a program via a controller keybinding, the application transmits the program's content, including the Python code, to the robot without any cryptographic signing or integrity verification. This allows for the injection of arbitrary Python code, which is then executed with root privileges on the robot by its `actuator_manager.py` component. An attacker with local access to the Android device could tamper with these stored programs, or a malicious program distributed through the application's community marketplace could lead to unauthorized code execution on any robot that imports and runs it.
- Description
- 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.
