CVE-2026-42084
OpenC3 COSMOS provides the functionality needed to send commands to and receive data from one or more embedded systems. Prior to versions 6.10.5 and 7.0.0-rc3, the OpenC3 password change functionality allows a user to change their password without providing the old password, by accepting a valid session token instead. In assumed breach scenarios, this behaviour can be exploited by an attacker who has already obtained a valid session token, to gain persistence in hijacked account (including admin) and prevent legitimate users from accessing the account. This issue has been patched in versions 6.10.5 and 7.0.0-rc3.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
- Puntuación base: 8.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.44%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 36
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1210Exploitation of Remote Serviceslateral movement85 % - Impacto principal
T1098.002Additional Email Delegate Permissionspersistence · privilege escalation80 % - Impacto secundario
T1556Modify Authentication Processdefense impairment · persistence · credential access75 %
Cambio de contraseña sin validación requiere sesión válida en red (PR:L, no local). AV:N/AC:L/PR:L → T1210. Impacto: modificación de cuenta (T1098.002) y control de acceso (T1556) para persistencia en cuenta comprometida.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
