9.4 CRITICAL

Unauthenticated network write with no gating in vulnerable versions (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N); primary impact is variable/actuator tampering (I:H) and platform disruption (A:H), with only incidental read exposure via the status page (C:L).

DescriptionCVE.org

MOOS core-moos through 10.4.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the optional MOOSDB HTTP server that allows unauthenticated clients to write variables. Attackers can send HTTP requests with variable names and values to the MOOSDB HTTP server port to modify MOOS variables including actuator and override commands without authentication.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated variable write in MOOS core-moos through 10.4.0 lets any client that can reach the optional MOOSDB HTTP server port set arbitrary MOOS variables - including actuator and override commands - because the web server enforces no credential of any kind. In vulnerable builds the HTTP 'poke' path is always live, so a single crafted GET/POST can alter the shared runtime blackboard that drives autonomous-vehicle behavior. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires network reachability to the optional MOOSDB HTTP server port, which must be enabled in the deployment (the HTTP status server is not always started). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, score 9.3) reflects a network-reachable, unauthenticated write against default configurations, which the source diff corroborates: pre-patch there was no gate at all on the HTTP poke path. … 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 #77 / commit 7e3aecd (an untagged source fix; a specific released version number is not confirmed in 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 MOOS core-moos 10.4.0 and earlier, evaluate network exposure of MOOSDB HTTP server ports, and disable or restrict HTTP server access if not operationally required. …
