Who should care
Defenders responsible for Reachy Mini SDK deployments should assess exposure and prioritize upgrading to version 1.8.2 or later. They should also verify file upload restrictions and content validation, and perform inventory checks for Reachy Mini SDK deployments.
Why it matters
CVE-2026-55419 allows unauthenticated file uploads in Reachy Mini SDK, compromising stored-data integrity and potentially serving as a foothold for further attacks. Defenders should prioritize verification and upgrading to version 1.8.2 or later.
- Unauthenticated file uploads can compromise stored-data integrity
- Malicious files can serve as a foothold when combined with other vulnerabilities
- Verification of file upload restrictions and content validation is required
- Inventory checks for Reachy Mini SDK deployments are necessary
Technical summary
The Reachy Mini daemon exposes the /api/media/sounds/upload endpoint without authentication, file-extension checks, content validation, or size validation. This allows an unauthenticated network attacker to upload arbitrary file types that are written to /tmp/reachy_mini_sounds/<original_filename>. The vulnerability compromises stored-data integrity and can serve as a foothold for further attacks when combined with other vulnerabilities. Defenders should prioritize verifying and upgrading to version 1.8.2 or later.
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize verifying and upgrading to version 1.8.2 or later.
Recommended defensive actions
- Verify and upgrade to version 1.8.2 or later
- Review and restrict access to the /api/media/sounds/upload endpoint
- Monitor for suspicious file uploads
- Perform inventory checks for Reachy Mini SDK deployments
- Verify file upload restrictions and content validation
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems
- Track exceptions and retest remediated assets
