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 exfiltrate all installed intellectual property and data.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This CVE is a confidentiality failure in Mobile Industrial Robots MiR100 controllers. Firmware v2.8.1.1 and earlier does not protect installed intellectual property artifacts, so an attacker who can reach the robot or robot network, especially with other flaws, may retrieve and exfiltrate that data.

Executive priority

Treat this as high priority if MiR100 robots store proprietary workflows, maps, configurations, or operational data. The main business risk is loss of intellectual property and sensitive robot data, not system takeover based on the provided evidence.

Technical view

CVE-2020-10273 is CWE-311: missing encryption or protection of sensitive artifacts on MiR100 controllers. The CVSS 3.0 score is 7.5, with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact. Integrity and availability impacts are not identified in the source bundle.

Likely exposure

Organizations operating Mobile Industrial Robots MiR100 on firmware v2.8.1.1 or earlier are the stated exposure group. Risk is higher where robots are reachable from broader corporate, wireless, vendor, or poorly segmented OT networks.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. The described attack context requires access to the robot or robot network and may rely on combination with other flaws.

Researcher notes

The available evidence supports a confidentiality issue caused by unprotected artifacts. Do not infer broader MiR product impact beyond the stated MiR100 entry. No exploit-in-the-wild claim or named patch is present in the provided bundle.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory MiR100 robots and record controller firmware versions.
  • Check MiR vendor guidance for fixed firmware or official compensating controls.
  • Restrict robot network access to required operators, services, and maintenance paths.
  • Segment robot networks from corporate, guest, and internet-reachable networks.
  • Review whether sensitive IP artifacts must reside on affected robots.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm whether any MiR100 controllers run firmware v2.8.1.1 or earlier.
  • Map all network paths that can reach affected robot controllers.
  • Review access controls around robot management and maintenance interfaces.
  • Check logs or monitoring for unusual robot access or data transfer patterns.
  • Document any vendor-approved firmware updates or compensating controls applied.

Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data

Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
