CVE-2018-17178 Information

Description

An issue was discovered on Neato Botvac Connected 2.2.0 devices. They execute unauthenticated manual drive commands (sent to /bin/webserver on port 8081) if they already have an active session. Commands like forward back arc-left arc-right pivot-left and pivot-right are executed even though the web socket replies with \message\ : \invalid authorization header\ . Without an active session commands are still interpreted but (except for eco-on and eco-off) have no effect since without active driving a driving direction does not change anything.
