What is CVE-2026-60112?

The AMMOS Instrument Toolkit (AIT) GUI prior to version 2.5.1 suffers from a missing authentication vulnerability that allows unauthorized network attackers to create valid sessions. This flaw occurs when calling the Sessions.create() method, which lacks a credential verification process. As a result, attackers can exploit this vulnerability to send arbitrary commands directly to the AIT command bus by invoking handle_cmd() without any authentication checks between session creation and command execution, posing significant risks to spacecraft operations.

Affected Version(s)
