This article details a critical security vulnerability in Unitree G1 humanoid robots that allows remote attackers to gain full control over movement and peripherals via a specific Bluetooth exploit chain. The flaw stems from an authorization failure in the robot's cloud API, enabling key recovery without verifying device ownership, which poses significant risks for physical safety and data privacy in AI-driven robotics.
Hackers Can Take Full Control of Unitree G1 Humanoid Robots Over Bluetooth

A critical attack chain could let attackers within Bluetooth range take full control of Unitree G1 humanoid robots, gaining root-level code execution on the locomotion computer that controls movement, cameras, speakers, voice features, and other peripherals. The flaws could allow a nearby attacker to obtain root-level code execution on the robot’s locomotion computer, which manages […] The post Hackers Can Take Full Control of Unitree G1 Humanoid Robots Over Bluetooth appeared first on Cyber Security News.
A critical attack chain could let attackers within Bluetooth range take full control of Unitree G1 humanoid robots, gaining root-level code execution on the locomotion computer that controls movement, cameras, speakers, voice features, and other peripherals. The flaws could allow a nearby attacker to obtain root-level code execution on the robot’s locomotion computer, which manages major hardware functions, including movement, cameras, speakers, voice…
