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.
Affected configurations
• neatorobotics botvac d4 connected firmware 2.2.0
• neatorobotics botvac d6 connected firmware 2.2.0
• neatorobotics botvac d5 connected firmware 2.2.0
• neatorobotics botvac d7 connected firmware 2.2.0
• neatorobotics botvac d3 connected firmware 2.2.0
