Vulnerable system availability: Low
Subsequent system confidentiality: None
Subsequent system integrity: None
Subsequent system availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Adjacent: The vulnerable system is bound to a protocol stack, but the attack is limited at the protocol level to a logically adjacent topology. This can mean an attack must be launched from the same shared proximity (e.g., Bluetooth, NFC, or IEEE 802.11) or logical network (e.g., local IP subnet), or from within a secure or otherwise limited administrative domain (e.g., MPLS, secure VPN within an administrative network zone).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 21 Sep 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

European organizations should implement network segmentation to isolate devices running LeRobot from general user networks, restricting access to trusted hosts only. Employ strict access controls and monitoring on local networks to detect unauthorized scanning or connection attempts to ZeroMQ sockets. Use host-based firewalls to limit inbound connections to the affected LeRobot components. Since no patches are currently available, consider disabling or restricting the use of the vulnerable functionality if feasible. Conduct thorough internal audits to identify all instances of LeRobot deployment and assess exposure. Additionally, implement network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) tuned to detect anomalous ZeroMQ traffic patterns. Educate internal staff about the risks of lateral movement and enforce strong endpoint security to prevent attackers from gaining local network footholds. Monitor vendor communications for updates or patches and plan for timely application once available.

Description

A vulnerability was identified in huggingface LeRobot up to 0.3.3. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file lerobot/common/robot_devices/robots/lekiwi_remote.py of the component ZeroMQ Socket Handler. The manipulation leads to missing authentication. The attack can only be initiated within the local network. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-10772 depends largely on the deployment of huggingface LeRobot within their operational environments. Organizations using LeRobot to manage robotic devices or automation systems could face risks of unauthorized local network actors issuing commands or accessing device data without authentication. This could lead to operational disruptions, data integrity issues, or unauthorized control of robotic assets. Although the attack is limited to local network access, insider threats or lateral movement by attackers who have breached perimeter defenses could exploit this vulnerability. In sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, or research institutions where robotic automation is critical, this could result in production downtime or compromised safety. The lack of vendor response and absence of patches increases the risk exposure until mitigations are implemented. However, the overall impact is moderated by the requirement for local network access and the limited scope of the affected functionality.
