3DescriptionCVE.org
MOOS core-moos through 10.4.0 lacks authentication in the wire protocol, allowing unauthenticated clients to connect with full publish, subscribe, and database clear privileges. Attackers can bypass the compile-time protocol string check and connect with arbitrary client names to execute privileged operations including DB_CLEAR which resets all variables and clears client mail queues.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated full compromise of the MOOSDB message bus in MOOS core-moos through 10.4.0, where the wire protocol performs no client authentication. Any attacker who can reach the MOOSDB TCP port can bypass the compile-time protocol-string check, connect under an arbitrary client name, and gain unrestricted publish, subscribe, and administrative privileges - including the DB_CLEAR operation that wipes all variables and client mail queues. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires only network reachability to the MOOSDB TCP listening port of a MOOS core-moos build at or before 10.4.0 running in its default configuration (no ServerKey / --moos_key set). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high-priority issue for any exposed MOOSDB. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the upstream fix from PR #84 / commit 5ff5cdec (https://github.com/themoos/core-moos/pull/84); this is an upstream fix available as a PR/commit and a released patched version is not independently confirmed from the input, so build from the patched source. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: identify all systems running MOOSDB through 10.4.0 and implement network-level access controls restricting the MOOSDB TCP port to trusted hosts only. …
