## Overview

Cleartext transmission without a cryptographic integrity check in operator control unit to robot UDP traffic in Teledyne FLIR Aware2 versions through 6.9.0.2 (PackBot) and 1.7.9 (FirstLook) allows adjacent unauthenticated attackers to intercept, hijack, or modify control traffic against Teledyne FLIR PackBot and FirstLook robots running this software via sniffing or hijacking network traffic.
