CVE-2026-12990

The communication protocol implemented in Ghost Robotics Vision 60 v0.27.2 could allow an attacker to send commands to the robot from an external attack station, impersonating the control station (tablet) and gaining unauthorised full control of the robot. The absence of encryption and authentication mechanisms in the communication protocol allows an attacker to capture legitimate traffic between the robot and the controller, replicate it, and send any valid command to the robot from any attacking computer or device. The communication protocol used in this interface is based on MAVLink, a widely documented protocol, which increases the likelihood of attack. There are two methods for connecting to the robot remotely: Wi-Fi and 4G/LTE.

Lack of cryptographic mechanisms in Ghost Robotics Vision 60 robot (APK v5.5.0) enables man-in-the-middle attacks. An attacker on the local network can intercept and manipulate communications between the operator and the robot.

Lack of authentication in the mobile app (APK v5.5.0) for Ghost Robotics Vision 60 robot allows an unauthenticated attacker on the Wi-Fi network full access to the web admin interface and HTTP API.

Encrypted WiFi and SSH credentials were found in Ghost Robotics Vision 60 v0.27.2 APK. An attacker can connect to the robot's WiFi and view all data, and via SSH gain full control, potentially causing physical damage.

The Ghost Robotics Vision 60 robot version v0.27.2 includes physical interfaces such as three RJ45 connectors and a USB Type-C port, which lack authentication mechanisms when establishing connections. The robot's internal router automatically assigns IP addresses to any physically connected device, and the robot runs on ROS 2 without authentication by default.
