CVE-2025-46675 Details
Description
In NASA CryptoLib before 1.3.2, the key state is not checked before use, potentially leading to spacecraft hijacking.
A vulnerability in NASA CryptoLib prior to version 1.3.2 allows for spacecraft hijacking by exploiting the Space Data Link Security (SDLS) protocol implementation. The issue arises because the key state is not verified before use, enabling unauthorized commands to be sent to a spacecraft's onboard computer. This flaw could lead to unauthorized control over the spacecraft, bypassing SDLS protections and potentially causing disruptive actions.
Users are advised to update to NASA CryptoLib version 1.3.2 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed by implementing key state checks before use.
