SharkNinja

Products: robot-vacuum. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 30.5/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 99th percentile of 91 consumer robotics companies.

Analyst brief

The record contains one entry: a July 2026 disclosure of a remote-code-execution vulnerability in a Shark robot vacuum, exploitable via a stolen certificate, rated severity 5. This is a single cybersecurity-disclosure event with no physical-injury, crash, or regulatory rows in the data. At index 30.7 and the 98.9th percentile of consumer-robotics, the single entry ranks the company near the top of its category, driven by the maximum severity rating assigned to the vulnerability rather than by volume. The record shows a discrete security-disclosure event, not an established pattern, and its nature is press/security-researcher-driven rather than regulator-driven.
