CVE-2026-71214
CRITICALCVE-2026-71214 is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.8) Missing Authentication vulnerability. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2026-71214 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description
The Aerie/PlanDev sequencing-server's authorization middleware (sequencing-server/src/app.ts) derives the caller's Hasura session role via getHasuraSession(), which prefers a session_variables object taken directly from the client-supplied JSON request body over the Authorization header's JWT claims, with no verification that the request actually originated from Hasura. By setting {"session_variables":{"x-hasura-role":"aerie_admin"}} in the body of a request to POST /command-expansion/put-expansion with no Authorization header, an unauthenticated attacker satisfies the role check and can insert arbitrary expansion rules into sequencing.expansion_rule, which govern how spacecraft activities are translated into commands. Separately, POST /put-dictionary is explicitly listed in the ENDPOINTS_WHITELIST and is exempt from any authentication, allowing unauthenticated writes of command dictionaries.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2026-71214 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-71214 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-71214. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
