This is the first entry (hopefully of a monthly series) that summarizes the cybersecurity flaws affecting robots and reported during April 2020.
A total of 67 robot cybersecurity flaws were reported in April 2020 according to the Robot Vulnerability Database (RVD) and other sources reviewed. All of them vulnerabilities applying and confirmed to Universal Robots UR3, UR5 and UR10. From the outlook, these flaws might also apply to eUR3, eUR5, eUR10 and eUR16 robots.
