Abstract [en]
Over the last few years, internet-connectivity hascome to be an expected feature of professional 3D printers.Connectivity does however come at a cost concerning the securityof the device. This project aimed to evaluate the cybersecurityof the Ultimaker S5 3D printer. The system was tested for themost likely and severe vulnerabilities based upon a threat modelmade on the product. The results show that the system’s localwebapplication is vulnerable to some common web-attacks thatallow the attacker to perform actions on the victims printer.
Abstract [sv]
De senaste åren har internetuppkoppling blivit en självklar funktion hos professionella 3D skrivare. Upp-koppling kommer dock ofta på bekostnad av enhetens säkerhet. Detta projekt syftade till att utvärdera cybersäkerheten hos 3D skrivaren Ultimaker S5. En hotmodell gjordes och systemet penetrationstestades baserat på denna. Resultaten visar att enhetens lokala webbapplikationen är sårbar för några vanliga web-attcker som låter attackeraren exekvera oönskade funktioner på offrets skrivare.
