Description

CVE-2026-71644 is a critical vulnerability in the Robotics-STAR-Lab RACER Tested software that allows an attacker to cause unsafe trajectory planning and potential UAV collisions. The flaw arises from a missing default case in the finite state machine (FSM) that stops publishing swarm trajectories when the drone enters the IDLE state. This can lead to unsafe behavior in drone swarm operations.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability in Robotics-STAR-Lab (SYSU STAR Group) RACER Tested, specifically in commit abcdef1234567890, is due to a missing default case in the FSM controlling swarm trajectory publication. When a drone enters the IDLE state, the FSM fails to stop publishing trajectories, potentially causing unsafe trajectory planning and UAV collisions. The CVSS 3.1 score is 9.8, indicating a critical severity with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Potential Impact

An attacker can remotely trigger unsafe trajectory planning in drone swarms, potentially causing UAV collisions. This impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system, posing significant safety risks in UAV operations.

Mitigation Recommendations

No patch or remediation information is provided. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, operators should carefully monitor drone states and consider manual intervention or disabling swarm operations when drones enter IDLE to prevent unsafe trajectory publication.
