Security Evaluation

1. Device Security

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Known hardware tampering Rare πŸ”— Proof No public mass physical-tampering campaign; research focuses on remote/cloud attack paths.
Known vulnerabilities Very common πŸ”— Proof Check Point Research disclosed remotely-triggerable remote code execution affecting Roborock vacuums in the Xiaomi ecosystem: full remote control, camera feed access and exfiltration of LiDAR floor plans. Xiaomi paid a $30,000 bounty and patched via OTA before public disclosure.
Prior attacks Rare πŸ”— Proof No known mass exploitation; the RCE was patched before public disclosure.
Updatability Very common πŸ”— Proof Regular OTA firmware updates through the Roborock/Xiaomi Home app.
Category Score Score: 2 / 3

2. System Security

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Authentication with other systems Full πŸ”— Proof Bound to a Roborock/Xiaomi account; integrations (Alexa, Google Assistant, HomeKit via Matter) brokered through the cloud account.
Communications Encrypted with up-to-date encryption πŸ”— Proof Cloud and app traffic use TLS; local control over encrypted channels.
Storage Encrypted with up-to-date encryption πŸ”— Proof Maps and footage stored in the cloud with vendor-managed encryption.
Category Score Score: 1 / 3

3. User Authentication

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Account management Full πŸ”— Proof Cloud account with multiple users and shared-device permissions.
Authentication Basic πŸ”— Proof Check Point found the RCE was enabled by flaws in authentication and API security, downgrading the effective auth strength.
Brute-force protection Basic πŸ”— Proof Cloud-side rate limiting exists but no detailed local lockout policy is documented.
Event logging Partial logging πŸ”— Proof App shows cleaning/device history; authentication and configuration changes are not exposed as a user-facing audit trail.
Passwords Require change after setup with complexity requirements πŸ”— Proof Xiaomi/Roborock account passwords require complexity; no default device password.
Category Score Score: 2 / 3
