About this listen

The provided text from IEEE Spectrum discusses a critical security flaw, dubbed UniPwn, discovered in Unitree robots, including their Go2, B2, G1, and H1 models. This vulnerability exploits weaknesses in the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Wi-Fi configuration interface, allowing an attacker to gain root-level access and potentially create a wormable botnet where infected robots compromise others wirelessly. Security researchers disclosed the issue after Unitree was unresponsive to responsible disclosure attempts, raising concerns about the company's commitment to robotics security and the broader implications of unsecured robots being deployed globally.
