SQL injection in OpenC3 COSMOS 6.7.0 to 7.0.0-rc2 allows authenticated users with minimal 'tlm' (telemetry viewer) privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the QuestDB time-series database. Attackers can exfiltrate all telemetry data, drop tables, or manipulate historical records via the get_tlm_values RPC endpoint by injecting malicious SQL into the start_time parameter. Vendor-released patch available in version 7.0.0-rc3 (commit 9ba60c0). No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), but GitHub advisory includes working proof-of-concept payloads demonstrating both data extraction and table deletion.

Self-XSS in OpenC3 COSMOS Command Sender UI prior to version 7.0.0 allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary JavaScript in their own browser session via unsafe eval() processing of array parameters. An attacker can exploit this through phishing or by convincing a victim to send a malicious command, potentially stealing session tokens or modifying authenticated data. Patch available in version 7.0.0.

OpenC3 COSMOS before versions 6.10.5 and 7.0.0-rc3 allows authenticated users to write arbitrary files to the shared /plugins directory via path traversal sequences in tool configuration filenames, potentially overwriting other plugins' configuration files. The vulnerability exists in the save_tool_config() function which canonicalizes filenames but does not restrict writes to plugin-specific subdirectories, enabling lateral movement between plugins. CVSS 4.3 reflects low severity due to authentication requirement and limited scope (integrity only), though real-world impact depends on whether plugin configurations contain sensitive data.

OpenC3 COSMOS password change functionality accepts valid session tokens in lieu of current passwords, enabling attackers with hijacked tokens to lock out legitimate users and maintain persistent access to compromised accounts including administrator accounts. Publicly available exploit code demonstrates the attack chain. All versions prior to 6.10.5 and 7.0.0-rc1 through 7.0.0-rc2 are affected. The vendor has released patched versions 6.10.5 and 7.0.0-rc3 that enforce password-only verification during password change operations.

Critical authentication bypass vulnerability in OpenC3 COSMOS v6.0.0 caused by weak password requirements that enable brute force attacks. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this with no user interaction to gain full control over the affected system, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. The CVSS 9.8 severity and network-based attack vector indicate this poses significant risk to any organization running the vulnerable version without additional protective controls.

OpenC3 COSMOS versions before v6.0.2 contain hardcoded credentials embedded in the Service Account, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to gain complete system compromise without any user interaction. This critical vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8 (critical severity) with a network attack vector, and given the nature of hardcoded credentials in a mission-critical space operations software, real-world exploitation risk is extremely high for organizations still running vulnerable versions.

Critical remote code execution vulnerability in OpenC3 COSMOS v6.0.0's Plugin Management component that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a specially crafted .txt file. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8 (critical severity) with no authentication or user interaction required, making it trivially exploitable over the network. Given the high CVSS score and attack surface (public-facing plugin management interfaces), this vulnerability poses an immediate threat to all deployed instances of the affected version.

Critical directory traversal vulnerability in OpenC3 COSMOS versions before 6.1.0 affecting the /script-api/scripts/ endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw over the network with no user interaction required to read and potentially write arbitrary files on the affected system, achieving high confidentiality and integrity impact. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.1 (Critical) with an CVSS vector indicating network-based attack, low complexity, and no privilege requirements.

Directory traversal vulnerability in OpenC3 COSMOS versions before 6.1.0 that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the server via the openc3-api/tables endpoint. This high-severity issue (CVSS 7.5) enables confidentiality breaches without requiring authentication or user interaction, potentially exposing sensitive configuration files, credentials, and operational data managed by the COSMOS command and control system.

A security vulnerability in OpenC3 COSMOS (CVSS 7.5) that allows attackers. Risk factors: public PoC available.

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in OpenC3 COSMOS before v6.0.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via injecting a crafted payload into the URL parameter.

OpenC3 COSMOS provides the functionality needed to send commands to and receive data from one or more embedded systems. Rated medium severity (CVSS 4.8), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. Public exploit code available.

OpenC3 COSMOS provides the functionality needed to send commands to and receive data from one or more embedded systems. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.3), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. This Path Traversal vulnerability could allow attackers to access files and directories outside the intended path.

OpenC3 COSMOS provides the functionality needed to send commands to and receive data from one or more embedded systems. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.1), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. This Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability could allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
