Attackers can connect to the Socket.IO server on port 7000 without credentials due to disabled authentication enforcement and a wildcard CORS policy, then emit the service_control event to terminate all active satellite-tracking sessions, SDR recording pipelines, demodulators, decoders, and rotator controllers, with repeated triggering possible in Docker deployments to create a persistent denial-of-service condition.","published":"2026-08-06T15:19:44.322Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:34.670512756Z","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/sgoudelis/ground-station/commit/2ecde82a8814cbea18883ce023bf45cbf06172eb","label":"sgoudelis/ground-station@2ecde82"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/53xxx/CVE-2026-53985.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/sgoudelis/ground-station/security/advisories/GHSA-mjp8-x6h7-229q"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53985"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/sgoudelis/ground-station/commit/2ecde82a8814cbea18883ce023bf45cbf06172eb"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/sgoudelis/ground-station"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:34.670512756Z"}}
