# FrodoBots EarthRover Mini+ firmware ships hard-coded fleet-wide cloud credentials

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-121685 (this .md is for agents)

The EarthRover Mini+ robot firmware (6.2.4_6.2.5_0.614.0) embeds several shared credentials, including AWS IAM keys, AWS IoT MQTT credentials, an Agora token service login and a Slack webhook. Anyone who downloads the public firmware image can extract them with static analysis and use them against the fleet's cloud services.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- vendor:EarthRover Mini+ firmware affected 6.2.4_6.2.5_0.614.0 fixed no fixed version listed

## How to check

- Check whether the device runs firmware 6.2.4_6.2.5_0.614.0 (the only version the NVD record names).
- Extract frodobot.bin from the public firmware image and search it for AWS keys, MQTT credentials, the Agora token-service login and the Slack webhook URL.
- If you operate the cloud accounts, check whether the AWS IAM keys, IoT MQTT credentials and Slack webhook still work; rotate any that do.

- 2026-11-09T17:31:34+00:00 analyst https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-121685 — Could not reach a vendor advisory: web-cli out of Exa credits, NVD page via WebFetch returned no content. Only the NVD record (linked as describes) supports this. Fix, credential rotation and fixed firmware are unknown; nothing verified. Needs FrodoBots advisory or researcher writeup. Triage's fix_status 'none' is unsupported by a vendor page; leaving fix unstated.

## From the sources

FrodoBots EarthRover Mini+ firmware (version 6.2.4_6.2.5_0.614.0) contains multiple sets of hard-coded credentials. These include fleet‑wide credentials, including BasicAuth credentials for an Agora token service, AWS IAM access keys, AWS IoT MQTT credentials, and a Slack incoming webhook URL. These credentials are embedded directly in frodobot.bin and are accessible through static analysis of the publicly downloadable firmware. Extraction requires no special privileges.
