| CVE | Severity | Published▾ | Status | Exploitation | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2026-55565 | Critical | 2026-08-28 | No exploit published | Proof of concept only | Yamcs is a mission control framework. Prior to 5.12.8 and 5.13.2, Yamcs LikeExpression.fillCode_getValueReturn in yamcs-core/src/main/java/org/yamcs/yarch/streamsql/LikeExpression.java inserts an unescaped LIKE pattern into Java source compiled by Expression.getCompiledExpression through SimpleCompiler.cook instead of applying ValueExpression.escapeJavaString. The pattern can originate from POST /api/archive/{instance}:executeSql, POST /api/archive/{instance}:streamSql, POST /api/archive/{instance}/tables/{table}:readRows, GET /api/archive/{instance}/events, or activity searches, including paths available with ReadTables, ReadEvents, or ReadActivities. A quote in the pattern can inject Java that runs as the Yamcs server process. This issue is fixed in versions 5.12.8 and 5.13.2. |
| CVE-2026-55559 | Critical | 2026-08-28 | Protected by Waratek | Proof of concept only | Yamcs is a mission control framework. Prior to 5.12.8 and 5.13.2, Yamcs inserts templateArgs from POST /api/instances and PATCH /api/instances/{instance} into YAML through VarStatement.append in yamcs-core/src/main/java/org/yamcs/templating/VarStatement.java without YAML-context escaping. The rendered configuration is parsed by YamcsServer.createInstance and loaded by YamcsServerInstance, allowing an attacker to inject a services entry for org.yamcs.ProcessRunner. Deployments without security.yaml expose the operation through the guest superuser, while secured deployments require SystemPrivilege.CreateInstances. Successful exploitation executes commands as the Yamcs service account. This issue is fixed in versions 5.12.8 and 5.13.2. |
| CVE-2026-55511 | Critical | 2026-08-28 | No exploit published | Proof of concept only | Yamcs is a mission control framework. Prior to 5.12.8 and 5.13.2, Yamcs allows a user with SystemPrivilege.ControlArchiving to create a double-quoted StreamSQL column name that is interpolated into generated Java source by Expression.fillCode_InputDefVars and Expression.sanitizeName. A sum aggregate reaches yamcs-core/src/main/java/org/yamcs/yarch/streamsql/CompilableAggregateExpression.java and yamcs-core/src/main/java/org/yamcs/yarch/streamsql/funct/SumExpression.java through SelectExpression.compile, where Janino SimpleCompiler.cook compiles the injected source. POST /api/archive/{instance}:executeSql can therefore execute arbitrary Java in the Yamcs server process, exposing mission data and credentials and permitting telemetry tampering or denial of service. This issue is fixed in versions 5.12.8 and 5.13.2. |
| CVE-2026-46621 | Critical | 2026-07-16 | No exploit published | Proof of concept only | Yamcs is a mission control framework. Prior to 5.12.7, the Yamcs script evaluation engine for Python algorithms dynamically compiled and evaluated user-controlled algorithm text using Jython through the JSR-223 ScriptEngine API without enforcing a secure sandbox, so an authenticated user with the ChangeMissionDatabase privilege could override an existing Python algorithm's logic through the mission database REST API and import and execute arbitrary Java classes such as java.lang.Runtime to achieve remote code execution on the underlying host operating system. This issue is fixed in versions 5.12.7 and 5.13.0, which disable algorithm editing by default. |
| CVE-2026-46562 | Critical | 2026-07-16 | Protected by Waratek | Proof of concept only | Yamcs is a mission control framework. Prior to 5.12.7, the Nashorn ScriptEngine used to evaluate user-supplied JavaScript algorithm text in yamcs-core/src/main/java/org/yamcs/algorithms/ScriptAlgorithmExecutorFactory.java was constructed without a ClassFilter, so a user with the ChangeMissionDatabase privilege could override an algorithm through the MdbOverrideApi.updateAlgorithm endpoint and supply JavaScript that reaches arbitrary Java classes (for example Java.type("java.lang.Runtime").getRuntime().exec(...)) to execute arbitrary OS commands as the Yamcs process; in the default configuration with no security.yaml the built-in guest user has superuser=true, making the issue reachable without authentication. This issue is fixed in versions 5.12.7 and 5.13.0, which disable algorithm editing by default. |
| CVE-2026-44632 | Critical | 2026-07-16 | No exploit published | Proof of concept only | Yamcs is a mission control framework. Prior to 5.12.7, a server-side code injection vulnerability existed in the Yamcs algorithm evaluation engine org.yamcs.algorithms.JavaExprAlgorithmExecutionFactory, which dynamically compiled and evaluated user-controlled algorithm text through the Janino compiler without enforcing a secure sandbox, so an authenticated user with the ChangeMissionDatabase privilege could override an existing algorithm's text via the mission database REST API and inject Java code (for example using java.lang.Runtime) to achieve remote code execution on the underlying host operating system. This issue is fixed in versions 5.12.7 and 5.13.0, which disable algorithm editing by default. |
| CVE-2026-44596 | Critical | 2026-07-16 | Mitigation candidate | Working exploit published | Yamcs is a mission control framework. Prior to 5.12.7, the authentication endpoint POST /auth/token in yamcs-core, handled by yamcs-core/src/main/java/org/yamcs/http/auth/AuthHandler.java, lacked any rate limiting, account lockout, or failed-attempt throttling, so an unauthenticated remote attacker could perform unlimited password-guessing attempts against any user account, significantly increasing the risk of successful brute-force attacks. This issue is fixed in versions 5.12.7 and 5.13.0. |
| CVE-2023-45278 | Critical | 2023-10-19 | Protected by Waratek | No public exploit | Directory Traversal vulnerability in the storage functionality of the API in Yamcs 5.8.6 allows attackers to delete arbitrary files via crafted HTTP DELETE request. |
