GHSA-FWWW-CP23-7F5G
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-28 17:10 – Updated: 2026-08-28 17:10Asset / scope: Yamcs 5.12.7 WebSocket topics (packets, algorithm-status, mdb-changes)
Summary
Several WebSocket subscription handlers do not perform the privilege check that their REST counterparts enforce, so a principal subscribing over WebSocket receives data the REST API would have scoped or denied.
Root cause
packets(PacketsApi.subscribePackets) performs noReadPacketcheck, while the REST siblings do (listPackets:128,streamPackets:256,subscribeContainers:538). A principal with a narrowReadPacketscope receives the raw binary of all TM packets on the processor.algorithm-status(ProcessingApi.subscribeAlgorithmStatus) performs no check, while RESTgetAlgorithmStatusenforcescheckObjectPrivileges(ReadAlgorithm, ...)(:467).mdb-changes(MdbOverrideApi.subscribeMdbChanges) performs no check, while base MDB reads requireGetMissionDatabase.
Remediation
Bring each WebSocket subscription handler to parity with its REST sibling's privilege check
(ReadPacket, ReadAlgorithm, GetMissionDatabase). This is the same declarative fail-closed fix as
Report 1.
Supporting material
Subsystem source audit of the WS-vs-REST authorization parity. Available on request.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
