CVE-2026-60112 Details
Description
AMMOS Instrument Toolkit (AIT) GUI before 2.5.1 contains a missing authentication vulnerability that allows any unauthenticated network attacker to obtain a valid session and issue arbitrary spacecraft commands by calling Sessions.create() without any credential check. Attackers can exploit the unauthenticated session issuance in Sessions.create() and subsequently invoke handle_cmd() to forward arbitrary commands directly to the AIT command bus without any authentication gate between session creation and command dispatch.
A missing authentication vulnerability has been identified in the AMMOS Instrument Toolkit (AIT) GUI, prior to version 2.5.1. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated network attackers to create valid sessions and issue arbitrary commands to spacecraft. The issue arises because the Sessions.create() method can be called without any credential verification. Exploiting this flaw, attackers can take advantage of the unauthorized session creation to invoke the handle_cmd() function, which forwards commands directly to the AIT command bus, bypassing any authentication checks between session creation and command execution.
Users are advised to update to AIT GUI version 2.5.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
