# FrodoBots EarthRover Mini+ firmware: all processes run as root

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-121690 (this .md is for agents)

The EarthRover Mini+ robot firmware, version 6.2.4_6.2.5_0.614.0, runs every process as root with no privilege separation. Compromising any single service gives an attacker full administrative control of the device.

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

## How to check

- Confirm the device runs EarthRover Mini+ firmware `6.2.4_6.2.5_0.614.0` (unknown whether the sources give a check command)
- Check whether services on the device run as root (unknown whether the sources give a specific command)

## From the sources

FrodoBots EarthRover Mini+ firmware (version 6.2.4_6.2.5_0.614.0) executes code with unnecessary privileges. All processes run as root and the system lacks privilege separation. The compromise of any single service results in full administrative control of the device.
