Description
Signal K Server is a server application that runs on a central hub in a boat. Prior to version 2.24.0, SignalK Server contains a code-level vulnerability in its OIDC login and logout handlers where the unvalidated HTTP Host header is used to construct the OAuth2 redirect_uri. Because the redirectUri configuration is silently unset by default, an attacker can spoof the Host header to steal OAuth authorization codes and hijack user sessions in realistic deployments as The OIDC provider will then send the authorization code to whatever domain was injected. This issue has been patched in version 2.24.0.

AI Analysis

Impact

Signal K Server builds the OAuth2 redirect_uri using the supplied HTTP Host header without validation during OIDC login and logout. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a surrogate Host value that tricks the OpenID Connect provider into sending the authorization code to an attacker‑controlled domain, giving the attacker tokens and enabling session hijacking. The weakness is reflected in CWE‑346 and CWE‑601.

Affected Systems

All installations of Signal K Server running a version earlier than 2.24.0 are affected. The vulnerability is present in the OIDC login and logout handlers and impacts any maritime vessel or central hub that has not applied the 2.24.0 release.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS rating of 6.1 denotes medium severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates a low probability of exploitation in the immediate future. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. An attacker who can send HTTP requests to the server can manipulate the Host header remotely, making the attack vector network‑based. Successful exploitation permits an attacker to obtain OAuth authorization codes and hijack user sessions without needing to compromise user credentials.
