CERT Polska coordinated disclosure of CVE-2026-1612, a critical vulnerability in AL-KO Robolinho Update Software version 8.0.21.0610. The application contains hard-coded AWS Access and Secret keys that provide at least read access to AL-KO's AWS S3 bucket. Direct use of these credentials may grant attackers broader permissions than intended by the application design. The exposure of cloud credentials represents a supply chain risk, as attackers could potentially access firmware updates, customer data, or other sensitive resources stored in the vendor's infrastructure.
The vendor was notified early in the disclosure process but failed to respond to CERT Polska's communications. While only version 8.0.21.0610 was confirmed vulnerable through testing, other versions may also contain the same hard-coded credentials. The vulnerability was responsibly reported by security researcher Piotr Ptaszek. Organizations using AL-KO Robolinho robotic lawn mowers should monitor for vendor updates and consider network segmentation to limit exposure of IoT devices until a patch is available.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,445 reports from 149 sources, 666 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
