CVE-2026-55394: Teledyne FLIR Aware2 cleartext transmission in 802.11

CVE-2026-55394 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-01

Teledyne FLIR Aware2 software used on PackBot robots transmits all wireless communication—including video feeds, telemetry, and control commands—without encryption over a local 802.11 network. An attacker within radio range can intercept sensitive data, hijack communications, or manipulate robot commands, potentially leading to loss of control, data exposure, and complete system compromise when combined with other vulnerabilities.

Technical details

The vulnerability is cleartext transmission of sensitive information in 802.11 wireless communication between the PackBot robot and its Operator Control Unit. The default wireless network lacks encryption and authentication, allowing any unauthenticated adjacent attacker to passively sniff or actively perform man-in-the-middle attacks on all transmitted data. Exploitation requires only physical proximity to the wireless network and readily available radio equipment.
