MOOSDB pub/sub is network-reachable with no default auth (AV:N/PR:N), a simple metacharacter payload triggers system() (AC:L), yielding full RCE as the iSay user (C/I/A:H).

MOOS-IvP iSay through 24.8.1 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the SAY_MOOS variable handler that passes unsanitized text to a shell command. Attackers can publish SAY_MOOS messages containing backticks or command substitution syntax to execute arbitrary commands as the iSay process user.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in MOOS-IvP's iSay module (through version 24.8.1) lets any actor on the MOOS message bus run arbitrary shell commands as the iSay process user. The SAY_MOOS variable handler in Sayer.cpp builds a speech command string and passes it straight to system(), so a published message containing backticks or $() command-substitution syntax is executed by the shell. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the ability to publish the SAY_MOOS MOOS variable to a MOOSDB that an iSay (≤24.8.1) instance subscribes to; MOOS pub/sub has no default authentication, so any client that can reach the MOOSDB qualifies (PR:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor CVSS 4.0 base is 9.3 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N and VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, i.e. … 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 #120 (commit ed3a44131fd3e5528602f20adc37ba82273c1cd8), which replaces system() with a shell-free fork()+execvp() argument-vector runner; rebuild iSay from a source tree that includes this commit. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all systems running MOOS-IvP version 24.8.1 or earlier and assess their exposure to untrusted message bus participants. …
