Unitree robot vulnerabilities allow root access and potential wireless propagation

A newly discovered exploit, UniPwn, allows root-level command execution on Unitree robots, potentially enabling wireless propagation between devices. The vulnerability chains together hardcoded keys, weak handshakes, and unsafe command execution, allowing remote root access via network services. While researchers describe parts as "wormable," real-world propagation depends on various factors, making a robot-to-robot viral infection unlikely but not impossible.
