DescriptionCVE.org

Ground Station prior to 0.6.0 contains an unauthenticated denial-of-service vulnerability in the Socket.IO server's service_control event handler that allows any unauthenticated network peer to forcibly terminate the ground-station process by sending a single restart_service command. Attackers can connect to the Socket.IO server on port 7000 without credentials due to disabled authentication enforcement and a wildcard CORS policy, then emit the service_control event to terminate all active satellite-tracking sessions, SDR recording pipelines, demodulators, decoders, and rotator controllers, with repeated triggering possible in Docker deployments to create a persistent denial-of-service condition.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated denial-of-service in sgoudelis/Ground Station prior to 0.6.0 allows any network peer to forcibly terminate the application process by emitting a single Socket.IO event requiring no credentials. Authentication enforcement is disabled and a wildcard CORS policy is in place, exposing the service_control handler - which triggers process shutdown via a restart_service command - to any host with TCP access to port 7000. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify Ground Station host on port 7000
Delivery
Connect via Socket.IO without credentials
Exploit
Emit service_control event with restart_service command
Execution
Ground-station process terminates, ending all active sessions
Impact
Repeat connection immediately after container restart to sustain persistent DoS

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires TCP network access to port 7000 on the Ground Station host; no credentials are required because authentication enforcement is explicitly disabled in affected versions and the wildcard CORS policy imposes no additional barrier. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N, score 8.7) is consistent with the described attack: trivially reachable over the network, no complexity, no credentials, immediate high availability impact, and no scope change to other systems. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with TCP access to port 7000 instantiates a Socket.IO client (using any standard library such as python-socketio or socket.io-client), connects to the Ground Station backend without credentials, and emits a service_control event carrying a restart_service command payload - terminating the process and all active satellite passes and SDR recordings in a single packet exchange. In a Docker deployment where the container restarts automatically, the attacker can script repeated connections to keep the service perpetually offline, preventing any satellite-tracking operations for the duration of the attack. …
Remediation Upgrade Ground Station to version 0.6.0 or later, which is confirmed as the patched release per the CVE description. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: identify all Ground Station deployments and current versions, then immediately restrict network access to port 7000 using firewall rules to trusted administrative hosts only. …
