We analyze Layered ROLLO-I, a code-based cryptosystem published in IEEE Communications Letters and submitted to the Korean post-quantum cryptography competition. Four versions of Layered ROLLO-I have been proposed in the competition. We show that the first two versions do not provide the claimed security against rank decoding attacks and give reductions to small instances of the original ROLLO-I scheme, which was a candidate in the NIST competition and eliminated there due to rank decoding attacks. As a second contribution, we provide two efficient message recovery attacks, affecting every security level of the first three versions of Layered ROLLO-I and security levels 128 and 192 of the fourth version.
