CVE-2018-20785 describes a secure boot bypass vulnerability affecting Neato Botvac Connected 2.2.0 devices. An attacker can exploit this by sending specific commands to the USB serial port during startup, enabling the upload and execution of an unsigned QNX IFS system image. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.4) allows for complete memory extraction, including firmware and sensitive data like Wi-Fi credentials, due to memory contents persisting across a power cycle. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
