EARTHROVER MINI+ FIRMWARE · CVE-2026-121686 · Infrastructure
NO FIX YET
The FrodoBots EarthRover Mini+ robot firmware has a method that accepts arbitrary shell commands over AWS IoT MQTT messages and runs them as root. Access is gated only by shared IoT credentials with no per-device authentication, so an attacker who obtains those credentials can execute code as root across the fleet.

Teams that run FrodoBots EarthRover Mini+ robots on firmware version 6.2.4_6.2.5_0.614.0 and connect them to AWS IoT over MQTT are exposed. Because the shared IoT credentials are the only gate, any device sharing those credentials is reachable. The sources do not say whether robots that are not connected to AWS IoT are affected.

FrodoBots EarthRover Mini+ firmware (version 6.2.4_6.2.5_0.614.0) is vulnerable to unauthenticated, remote code execution via MQTT. A firmware method accepts arbitrary shell commands delivered via Amazon Web Services Internet of Things Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (AWS IoT MQTT) messages and executes them as root. Access is gated only by shared Internet of Things (IoT) credentials, with no per‑device authentication, enabling remote code execution as root across the fleet.
