Abstract
Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2) is the next-generation robotics middleware that claims to provide secure communication through its Data Distribution Service (DDS) layer. This work presents the first comprehensive security analysis of ROS2’s security mechanisms. We identify multiple vulnerabilities in the design and implementation of Secure ROS2, demonstrating attacks that can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of robotic systems.

This work presents the first comprehensive security analysis of ROS2’s security mechanisms. We discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the Secure ROS2 implementation that can be exploited to compromise robotic systems, highlighting critical security issues in modern robotics middleware.
