MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Defense Evasion, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The Constellation feature must be enabled (disabled by default in Cosmos Server), and there must be at least one non-blocked, non-invisible device registered in the database. The attack requires only network access and any non-empty Authorization header; no authentication credentials are needed. Limiting factors include the default disabled state of Constellation and the requirement for existing device registrations. |
| Impact | CVSS 5.3 (medium) with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N indicates low confidentiality impact with no privilege or user interaction required. However, exploitation requires the Constellation feature to be enabled (disabled by default) and at least one device registered. No EPSS score or KEV listing is available, but a proof-of-concept is described in the vendor advisory, elevating risk for deployments with Constellation enabled. For default configurations, the exposure is limited, but misconfigured instances are easily exploitable. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker sends a GET request to /cosmos/api/constellation/public-devices with an arbitrary Authorization header (e.g., Bearer fake-token). The server bypasses validation and returns a JSON list of device names, IPs, and user nicknames. This can be performed remotely without authentication, exposing internal network topology. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 28, 2026
Authentication bypass in Cosmos Server 0.22.18 allows unauthenticated attackers to leak Constellation device metadata via the public-devices endpoint. The handler accepts any non-empty Authorization header but does not validate the bearer token, exposing device names, IPs, and role flags. Publicly available exploit code exists, but no active exploitation is reported; the vulnerability is patched in version 0.22.19.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Cosmos Server version 0.22.19, which includes the fix (commit 59c561d686c8f9843b3e092b50f6346c481d8bbf and release v0.22.19). As a workaround, disable the Constellation feature if not required by setting the appropriate configuration option, or restrict network access to the /api/constellation/public-devices endpoint via a reverse proxy or firewall. Note that disabling Constellation may break remote access functionality for existing devices.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Cosmos Server is a self-hosted server manager with a Constellation VPN feature that securely connects devices. The endpoint /cosmos/api/constellation/public-devices is registered on the authenticated admin API router and undergoes tokenMiddleware which only validates tokens with a specific cosmos_ prefix. The handler strips the Bearer prefix but never validates the token, allowing any non-empty bearer value to bypass authentication (CWE-287 Improper Authentication). The flaw exists in src/constellation/api_devices_public.go where the handler queries all non-blocked, non-invisible devices without filtering by the stripped token.

DescriptionCVE.org
Cosmos provides users the ability self-host a home server by acting as a secure gateway to your application, as well as a server manager. In 0.22.18, GET /cosmos/api/constellation/public-devices discloses Constellation device metadata to a requester that supplies any non-empty Authorization header. The handler strips the string Bearer from the header but never validates the resulting token and never uses it in the database query. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.22.19.
