CVE-2020-10271 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.8) affecting mir100 firmware, mir200 firmware, mir250 firmware. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
MiR100, MiR200 and other MiR robots use the Robot Operating System (ROS) default packages exposing the computational graph to all network interfaces, wireless and wired. This is the result of a bad set up and can be mitigated by appropriately configuring ROS and/or applying custom patches as appropriate. Currently, the ROS computational graph can be accessed fully from the wired exposed ports. In combination with other flaws such as CVE-2020-1026
