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.","severity":{"version":"3.1","score":5.3,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","level":"medium","assessor":"primary","from":"nvd"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-07","score":0.00675,"percentile":0.52426,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"published":"2018-09-18T18:00:00Z","modified":"2026-06-17T01:45:28Z","products":[{"vendor":"neatorobotics","product":"botvac_d3_connected_firmware"},{"vendor":"neatorobotics","product":"botvac_d4_connected_firmware"},{"vendor":"neatorobotics","product":"botvac_d5_connected_firmware"},{"vendor":"neatorobotics","product":"botvac_d6_connected_firmware"},{"vendor":"neatorobotics","product":"botvac_d7_connected_firmware"}],"references":[{"url":"https://media.ccc.de/v/2018-124-pinky-brain-are-taking-over-the-world-with-vacuum-cleaners","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","x_transferred","Exploit","Technical Description","Third Party Advisory"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-17178"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-486g-rgjg-jqcq"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2018-17178","description":"An issue was discovered on Neato Botvac Connected 2.2.0 devices.
