CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe ait.core.server telemetry and command broker in NASA-AMMOS AIT-Core versions up to 3.1.1 is vulnerable due to missing authentication, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to access the ZeroMQ message bus. This critical flaw enables attackers to inject malicious commands, exfiltrate sensitive telemetry data, and disrupt communication between spacecraft and ground systems. Organizations utilizing affected versions should prioritize immediate remediation, especially those operating in aerospace or critical infrastructure sectors.

Original NVD Description
CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function in the ait.core.server telemetry and command broker (ait-server) in NASA-AMMOS AIT-Core through 3.1.1 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker with network access to the ZeroMQ message bus to inject spacecraft command data, exfiltrate command and telemetry traffic, inject forged telemetry, or disrupt the command and telemetry bus. The ait-server ZeroMQ broker binds its XSUB and XPUB sockets to all network interfaces by default without authentication or transport security. An attacker able to reach TCP port 5559 can publish messages onto internal topics, including the __commands__ command topic. With the shipped default configuration, command messages are forwarded through command_stream and emitted on the command-uplink UDP path. An attacker able to reach TCP port 5560 can subscribe to command and telemetry traffic on the ground bus. AIT-Core 3.1.2 changes the default ZeroMQ bind addresses to loopback.
