CVE-2026-72577
NASA fprime-gds - Missing Authentication and Path Traversal Enable Unauthenticated RCE and Spacecraft Command Injection
Multiple vulnerabilities in NASA fprime-gds through 3.4.3 allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution on the ground station host and inject arbitrary commands to connected spacecraft. The Flask application in src/fprime_gds/flask/app.py applies no authentication to any endpoint.
