Affects Traccar. Versions of the Traccar open-source GPS tracking system up to and including 6.11.1 contain a Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH) vulnerability in the /api/socket endpoint. The application fails to validate the Origin header during the WebSocket handshake. This allows a remote attacker to bypass the Same Origin Policy (SOP) and establish a full-duplex WebSocket connection using a legitimate user's credentials (JSESSIONID). As of time of publication, it is unclear whether a fix is available

Versions of the Traccar open-source GPS tracking system up to and including 6.11.1 contain a Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH) vulnerability in the /api/socket endpoint. The application fails to validate the Origin header during the WebSocket handshake. This allows a remote attacker to bypass the Same Origin Policy (SOP) and establish a full-duplex WebSocket connection using a legitimate user's credentials (JSESSIONID). As of time of publication, it is unclear whether a fix is available.
Executive ViewAI
Traccar GPS tracking systems up to version 6.11.1 are vulnerable to Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking attacks, allowing attackers to hijack user sessions and gain unauthorized access to real-time location data. Organizations using affected versions face immediate risk of data theft and loss of tracking system integrity, with no vendor patch currently available.
Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to validate and enforce strict Origin headers on /api/socket WebSocket connections, rejecting requests from unexpected domains; implement network-level access controls restricting WebSocket endpoint connectivity to trusted IP ranges and VPNs only; disable WebSocket functionality entirely if real-time tracking is not critical; enforce IP allowlisting for API access; monitor WebSocket connection logs for anomalous Origin values and geographic inconsistencies; implement rate limiting on WebSocket connection attempts; require VPN or network segmentation to isolate Traccar infrastructure from untrusted networks.
