CVE-2026-60112

AMMOS Instrument Toolkit (AIT) GUI before 2.5.1 contains a missing authentication vulnerability that allows any unauthenticated network attacker to obtain a valid session and issue arbitrary spacecraft commands by calling Sessions.create() without any credential check. Attackers can exploit the unauthenticated session issuance in Sessions.create() and subsequently invoke handle_cmd() to forward arbitrary commands directly to the AIT command bus without any authentication gate between session creation and command dispatch.

Summary		(es) AMMOS Instrument Toolkit (AIT) GUI antes de 2.5.1 contiene una vulnerabilidad de autenticación faltante que permite a cualquier atacante de red no autenticado obtener una sesión válida y emitir comandos arbitrarios de la nave espacial al llamar a Sessions.create() sin ninguna verificación de credenciales. Los atacantes pueden explotar la emisión de sesión no autenticada en Sessions.create() y posteriormente invocar handle_cmd() para reenviar comandos arbitrarios directamente al bus de comandos de AIT sin ninguna puerta de autenticación entre la creación de la sesión y el despacho de comandos.
