Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Neato Botvac Connected version 2.2.0

Description A replay issue was found, where manual control mode requires authentication, but the authentication, always transmitted in cleartext, can be replayed to the "/bin/webserver" endpoint on port 8081. The issue is exacerbated by the lack of nonces and the absence of timestamp checks.

Recommendations For Neato Botvac Connected version 2.2.0, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "/bin/webserver" endpoint on port 8081 to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
