CVE-2026-103244: Missing Authentication for Critical Function in sgoudelis ground-station
ground-station versions before 0.8.0 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the setup.restore command that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL during first-run setup mode. Attackers can invoke setup.restore via Socket.IO to plant admin users and forged session tokens, then authenticate as administrator without credentials for complete application takeover.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-103244 describes an authentication bypass vulnerability in sgoudelis ground-station versions prior to 0.8.0. The vulnerability resides in the setup.restore command accessible during first-run setup mode via Socket.IO. Attackers can exploit this to execute arbitrary SQL commands, enabling them to plant administrator accounts and forged session tokens. This leads to authentication as an administrator without valid credentials, resulting in full control over the application.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in complete application takeover by unauthenticated attackers. They can create administrative users and forge session tokens, bypassing all authentication controls. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in version 0.8.0 and later. Users should upgrade to version 0.8.0 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. No vendor advisory was provided, so patch status is inferred from the affected version range indicating versions before 0.8.0 are vulnerable.
