Signal K Server versions before 2.25.0 allow remote unauthenticated attackers to crash the server via Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in WebSocket subscription handling. By injecting unescaped regex metacharacters into the context parameter, attackers trigger catastrophic backtracking that consumes 100% CPU and renders the server completely unresponsive to all API and socket requests. This creates a complete denial of service for marine navigation systems relying on Signal K Server as their central data hub. While EPSS score is low (0.04%, 13th percentile), the trivial exploitation complexity (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and complete availability impact make this a priority for boat operators running vulnerable versions. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the GitHub security advisory provides clear technical details. Vendor-released patch available in version 2.25.0.
Unauthenticated privilege escalation in SignalK Server (versions prior to 2.24.0-beta.4) allows remote attackers to inject administrator roles via the /enableSecurity endpoint, granting full administrative control without credentials. Attackers can modify vessel routing data, alter server configurations, and access all restricted endpoints. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the critical CVSS 9.4 score reflects the trivial exploit complexity (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N) and high confidentiality/integrity impact to marine vessel control systems.
Command injection in Signal K Server (maritime navigation) before 1.5.0 allows authenticated users to execute OS commands. EPSS 4.96% with PoC and patch available.
Signal K Server prior to version 2.24.0 permits low-privileged authenticated users to bypass prototype boundary filtering via a malformed `from` field, enabling arbitrary read access to internal functions and properties in the global prototype object. This confidentiality breach violates data isolation within the Signal K application and allows attackers to extract sensitive internal state they should not access. The vulnerability requires prior authentication and has been patched in version 2.24.0.
SignalK Server versions prior to 2.24.0 allow unauthenticated attackers to hijack OAuth2 sessions and steal authorization codes by spoofing the HTTP Host header in OIDC login and logout handlers. The vulnerability exploits the default-unset redirectUri configuration, causing the OIDC provider to send authorization codes to an attacker-controlled domain. EPSS score of 6.1 reflects moderate real-world risk despite the requirement for user interaction (UI:R) to initiate login.
SignalK Server prior to version 2.24.0-beta.1 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to modify navigation data source priorities through an unprotected PUT endpoint (/signalk/v1/api/sourcePriorities), enabling manipulation of which GPS, AIS, and sensor data sources are trusted by the maritime navigation system. The malicious configuration changes are immediately applied and persisted to disk, surviving server restarts and potentially causing the vessel to rely on attacker-controlled or spoofed navigation data. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at this time.
Signal K Server versions prior to 2.20.3 on Windows contain a path traversal vulnerability in the applicationData API that allows authenticated users to read, write, and list arbitrary files by bypassing directory validation using backslashes. The vulnerability exists because the validateAppId() function only blocks forward slashes, allowing attackers to escape the intended applicationData directory through Windows path semantics. Public exploit code exists for this medium-severity flaw, and a patch is available in version 2.20.3.
Signal K Server is a server application that runs on a central hub in a boat. [CVSS 6.3 MEDIUM]
Signal K Server before 2.19.0 exposes two features that chain together to steal JWT tokens without authentication: WebSocket-based request enumeration plus unauthenticated polling of access request status. An attacker can hijack admin sessions remotely. PoC available.
Signal K Server is a server application that runs on a central hub in a boat. Versions prior to 2.19.0 of the appstore interface allow administrators to install npm packages through a REST API endpoint. [CVSS 7.2 HIGH]

Signal K Server is a server application that runs on a central hub in a boat. A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in versions prior to 2.19.0 allows an unauthenticated attacker to crash the SignalK Server by flooding the access request endpoint (`/signalk/v1/access/requests`). [CVSS 7.5 HIGH]
Signal K Server (for boats) before 2.19.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to hijack the backup restore function by polluting the internal restoreFilePath state via the /validateBackup endpoint. This enables overwriting security.json and other critical files to achieve OS command injection.
