AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
UART is a physical serial interface requiring hardware proximity, making AV:P correct; the NVD-assigned AV:N directly contradicts the description's physical-proximity requirement.

An integer handling flaw in the cobs_decode function of SpaceDot AcubeSAT OBC software commit eaf90ec allows physically-proximate attackers with UART access to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in SpaceDot AcubeSAT On-Board Computer (OBC) software at commit eaf90ec is triggered by a crafted input to the cobs_decode function, exploiting an integer handling flaw (CWE-400) over the UART serial interface. Physical proximity to the hardware is required, rendering the NVD-assigned CVSS vector (AV:N) inconsistent with the description's explicit 'physically-proximate' access requirement - a likely scoring error that significantly overstates remote risk. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires direct physical access to the UART serial port of the AcubeSAT OBC hardware - the attacker must be co-located with the device and able to connect a serial interface (e.g., USB-to-UART adapter) to the UART pins or header. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Real-world risk is substantially lower than the CVSS 7.5 base score implies. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with physical access to a satellite integration lab connects to the AcubeSAT OBC UART debug port, constructs a malformed COBS-encoded byte sequence designed to trigger the integer handling flaw in cobs_decode, and transmits it over the serial interface, causing the OBC software to crash or hang and resulting in a denial of service to the satellite's on-board computer. No public proof-of-concept exploit has been identified; physical hardware access is an absolute prerequisite. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch or fixed version has been identified at time of analysis; the only reference is a third-party GitHub issue rather than an official SpaceDot advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all systems running SpaceDot AcubeSAT OBC software and document their physical security posture, particularly UART interface accessibility. …
