ros/ros_comm
A code injection vulnerability has been identified in the Robot Operating System (ROS) 'rostopic' command-line tool. This flaw, affecting ROS distributions Noetic Ninjemys and earlier, allows a local user to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the --filter option. The vulnerability stems from the direct use of user-supplied input within the eval() function without proper sanitization. Users should upgrade to a patched ROS version or implement access restrictions to mitigate this risk.
The impact of this vulnerability is significant, as it enables a local attacker to gain complete control over the system running the ROS environment. By crafting a malicious Python expression through the --filter option, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to data theft, system compromise, or denial of service. This could impact robotic systems used in critical infrastructure, manufacturing, or research environments. The ability to execute arbitrary code directly on the ROS host represents a high-risk scenario, potentially allowing for lateral movement within a network if the ROS system has access to other sensitive resources.
This vulnerability is currently not listed on the CISA KEV catalog. Public proof-of-concept exploits are not yet widely available, but the ease of exploitation given the direct use of eval() suggests a medium probability of exploitation. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed on 2025-07-17. Further monitoring is recommended to assess the evolving threat landscape.
Robotics researchers and developers using ROS Noetic Ninjemys and earlier are at immediate risk. Organizations deploying robotic systems in production environments, particularly those with limited access controls or inadequate security monitoring, are also vulnerable. Shared ROS environments or systems with multiple users should be prioritized for remediation.
• linux / server:
journalctl -u rostopic | grep --filter• python / supply-chain:
import os
if 'rostopic' in os.environ:
print('Potential rostopic vulnerability detected.')• generic web: Inspect ROS system logs for unusual activity related to the 'rostopic' command and the --filter option. Look for suspicious Python code snippets being executed.

The primary mitigation for CVE-2024-41148 is to upgrade to a ROS version that includes a patch for this vulnerability. ROS developers are expected to release a fix in a future update. As an immediate workaround, restrict access to the 'rostopic' command, particularly the --filter option, to trusted users only. Consider implementing a WAF or proxy to filter potentially malicious input passed to the command. Regularly review and audit ROS configurations to identify and address any potential security weaknesses.
Actualice el paquete ros_comm a la última versión disponible que contenga la corrección para esta vulnerabilidad. Si no hay una versión corregida disponible, evite el uso de la opción --filter con entradas no confiables en la herramienta rostopic hz. Considere aplicar parches de seguridad proporcionados por la comunidad o el proveedor.

CVE-2024-41148 is a code injection vulnerability in the ROS 'rostopic' tool affecting versions up to Noetic Ninjemys. The --filter option allows arbitrary Python code execution, potentially leading to system compromise.
If you are using ROS Noetic Ninjemys or an earlier version, you are potentially affected. Check your ROS version and upgrade if possible. Restrict access to the 'rostopic' command as a temporary measure.
The recommended fix is to upgrade to a patched ROS version. Monitor ROS security advisories for updates. As a workaround, restrict access to the 'rostopic' command and the --filter option.
While no active exploitation has been confirmed, the ease of exploitation suggests a potential risk. Monitor security advisories and system logs for suspicious activity.
Refer to the official ROS security announcements and mailing lists for updates and advisories related to CVE-2024-41148. Check the ROS wiki and security pages.
