Analysis Summary
# Vulnerability: Hard-coded AWS Credentials in Robolinho Update Software
## CVE Details
- **CVE ID**: CVE-2026-1612
- **CVSS Score**: Not explicitly provided in the source (Estimate: High/Critical due to cloud credential exposure)
- **CWE**: CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials)
## Affected Systems
- **Products**: AL-KO Robolinho Update Software
- **Versions**: 8.0.21.0610 (Confirmed); other versions may also be affected.
- **Configurations**: Any installation of the software containing the hard-coded AWS keys.
## Vulnerability Description
The AL-KO Robolinho Update Software contains hard-coded Amazon Web Services (AWS) Access and Secret keys. These credentials are embedded directly within the application code and allow unauthorized access to AL-KO’s AWS S3 buckets. An attacker who extracts these keys can potentially gain greater access permissions than the application originally intended, including at least read access to objects stored within the bucket.
## Exploitation
- **Status**: Disclosed; specific exploitation in the wild not confirmed, but credentials are fixed in the binary.
- **Complexity**: Low (Credential extraction from binaries is a trivial task).
- **Attack Vector**: Local (Attacker requires access to the software binary to extract the keys).
## Impact
- **Confidentiality**: High (Unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the AWS bucket).
- **Integrity**: Indeterminate (Depends on the permissions associated with the leaked AWS keys; potentially high if write access is enabled).
- **Availability**: Indeterminate (Depends on whether keys allow deletion of bucket objects).
## Remediation
### Patches
- **No patch currently available.** The vendor (AL-KO) was notified by CERT Polska but did not respond to the disclosure.
### Workarounds
- **Uninstall or Restrict Usage**: Avoid using the affected update software on systems where security is a priority.
- **Network Filtering**: Block outbound traffic to AWS S3 endpoints from the update software unless necessary.
## Detection
- **Indicators of Compromise**: Unauthorized access logs within AL-KO’s AWS environment originating from non-company IP addresses.
- **Detection Methods**: Security researchers and admins can use string analysis tools (e.g., `strings` or grep) on the software binary to identify AWS Access Key IDs (starting with `AKIA`) and Secret Keys.
