Description
DevSpace is a client-only developer tool for cloud-native development with Kubernetes. Prior to 6.3.21, DevSpace's UI server WebSocket accepts connections from all origins by default, and therefore several endpoints are exposed via this WebSocket. When a developer runs the DevSpace UI and at the same time uses a browser to access the internet, a malicious website they visit can use their browser to establish a cross-origin WebSocket connection to ws://127.0.0.1:8090. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.3.21.

AI Analysis

Impact

DevSpace UI server WebSocket accepts connections from all origins by default, exposing several endpoints through this WebSocket. This flaw can be triggered when a developer runs the DevSpace UI and visits a malicious website, which can then initiate a WebSocket connection to ws://127.0.0.1:8090 and potentially read data from the UI. The impact follows CWE‑200 and CWE‑306, indicating that sensitive information may be exposed and the origin cannot be verified, raising the risk of unauthorized data access.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects DevSpace, a client‑only developer tool for cloud‑native development with Kubernetes, before version 6.3.21. All users running older versions of the DevSpace UI server are susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.7 reflects a high‑severity weakness. Because the exploit requires only a malicious web page and an active DevSpace UI session, the attack probability is high for exposed developers, although EPSS data is not available and the issue is not present in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a browser‑based malicious website that opens a cross‑origin WebSocket connection, and it does not require any special privileges beyond user interaction.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade DevSpace to version 6.3.21 or later, which fixes the origin check deficiency.
  • If upgrading is not yet possible, disable or temporarily stop the DevSpace UI server while working on other development tasks to eliminate exposure.
  • Configure local firewall rules to block inbound WebSocket connections to ws://127.0.0.1:8090 from host processes that are not part of the DevSpace UI.
