Summary
Yamcs is a mission control framework. Prior to 5.12.8 and 5.13.2, Yamcs WebSocket subscription handlers fail to enforce the privileges required by equivalent REST endpoints. PacketsApi.subscribePackets exposes the packets WebSocket topic without ObjectPrivilegeType.ReadPacket, ProcessingApi.subscribeAlgorithmStatus exposes the algorithm-status WebSocket topic without ObjectPrivilegeType.ReadAlgorithm, and MdbOverrideApi.subscribeMdbChanges exposes the mdb-changes WebSocket topic without SystemPrivilege.GetMissionDatabase. A low-privilege authenticated user can receive telemetry packets, algorithm status, and mission database change information outside the assigned authorization scope. This issue is fixed in versions 5.12.8 and 5.13.2.
