Description
Summary
The Tilt HUD WebSocket (/ws/view) is gated by a CSRF token, but the token is served by an unauthenticated endpoint and the upgrader accepts any client that omits an Origin header. When the HUD is network-exposed, an attacker can open the HUD stream and read the developer's session state.
Details
The upgrader accepts a connection when the csrf query parameter matches a process-wide token (websocketCSRFToken). That token is served as text/plain by an unauthenticated handler (WebsocketToken, mounted at /api/websocket_token), so any reachable caller can fetch it and connect to /ws/view?csrf=<token>. When the parameter does not match, the upgrader falls back to a same-origin check that returns true when the Origin header is absent, so a non-browser client that omits Origin is accepted anyway. The token has no per-session binding.
Impact
An attacker who can reach the HUD listener can open the HUD WebSocket and receive the full view stream — session state, Tiltfile contents, resource statuses, and continued updates — defeating the intended anti-CSWSH protection.
Conditions for exploitation
- Affected version in
>= 0.24.0, <= 0.37.3. - HUD bound to a non-loopback address (
tilt up --host 0.0.0.0, orTILT_HOSTset). - Network reachability to the listener (default port
10350).
Not affected
- The default loopback-only bind is not reachable from the network.
Workarounds
Use the default loopback bind (omit --host, unset TILT_HOST). No complete workaround short of upgrading for non-loopback deployments.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/tilt-dev/tilt, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/tilt-dev/tilt to 0.37.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-55883 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
