Technical details
The STM32 motor-controller firmware is retrieved via unencrypted HTTP, with integrity verified only by MD5 hash provided in the same unprotected response. No cryptographic code-signing is implemented. An attacker on the network or performing man-in-the-middle attacks can intercept the firmware update and replace it with malicious code, gaining full control over the rover's motor control and enabling physical and digital compromise.
