CVE-2025-41108
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2025-41108 allows attackers to gain full unauthorized control of Ghost Robotics Vision 60 robots by impersonating legitimate control stations. This is possible because the MAVLink-based communication protocol lacks encryption and authentication. Organizations using Ghost Robotics Vision 60 robots for security, military, or industrial applications are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- Ghost Robotics Vision 60
📦 What is this software?
Vision 60 Firmware by Ghostrobotics
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete takeover of robot allowing physical damage, surveillance, weaponization, or disruption of critical operations.
Likely Case
Unauthorized movement, data collection, or disruption of robot functions from nearby attackers.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper network segmentation and access controls in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
MAVLink protocol is well-documented and traffic capture/replay requires minimal technical skill.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso/multiple-vulnerabilities-ghost-robotics-vision-60
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Monitor Ghost Robotics for security updates. 2. Apply firmware patches when available. 3. Restart robots after patching.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Segmentation
allIsolate robot control networks from untrusted networks
Disable Remote Connections
allDisable Wi-Fi and 4G/LTE connectivity when not required
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Physically isolate robots in controlled environments
- Implement strict network access controls and monitor for unauthorized connections
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if robot is running Vision 60 v0.27.2 or earlier and uses MAVLink protocol without encryption/authentication.Check Version:
Check robot firmware version via control interface or manufacturer documentation.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify firmware version is updated beyond v0.27.2 and communication uses authenticated/encrypted channels.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unauthorized control commands
- Connection attempts from unknown IPs
- MAVLink traffic from unexpected sources
Network Indicators:
- Unencrypted MAVLink traffic on robot control ports
- Traffic replay patterns
- Connections from unauthorized networks
SIEM Query:
source_ip NOT IN (authorized_controllers) AND protocol="MAVLink" AND dest_ip IN (robot_ips)
