CVE-2025-30198
📋 TL;DR
ECOVACS robot vacuums and base stations use a predictable WPA2-PSK that can be easily derived, allowing attackers to join the local Wi-Fi network. This affects all ECOVACS robot vacuum models and base stations using this insecure communication method. Attackers can potentially intercept or manipulate device communications.
💻 Affected Systems
- ECOVACS robot vacuums
- ECOVACS base stations
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers gain full network access, intercept sensitive data, manipulate vacuum operations, or use the device as a pivot point to attack other network devices.
Likely Case
Attackers monitor device communications, potentially accessing Wi-Fi credentials or other transmitted data, but limited to local network proximity.
If Mitigated
With proper network segmentation and monitoring, impact is limited to the isolated IoT network with no access to critical systems.
🎯 Exploit Status
Attack requires physical proximity to derive WPA2-PSK and join network.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: N/A
Vendor Advisory: https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-25-135-19
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Follow workarounds and mitigation steps.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Segmentation
allPlace ECOVACS devices on isolated IoT network VLAN
Physical Security
allRestrict physical access to devices to prevent PSK derivation
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Disconnect devices from network when not in use
- Monitor network for unauthorized devices joining Wi-Fi
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if ECOVACS device uses default Wi-Fi with predictable PSKCheck Version:
Check device firmware via ECOVACS appVerify Fix Applied:
Verify device is on isolated network and monitor for unauthorized connections📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unauthorized MAC addresses on Wi-Fi network
- Unexpected device connections
Network Indicators:
- Unusual traffic patterns from IoT devices
- New devices on Wi-Fi network
