CVE-2026-42087

Status: AnalyzedCritical (9.6)—

OpenC3 COSMOS provides the functionality needed to send commands to and receive data from one or more embedded systems. From version 6.7.0 to before version 7.0.0-rc3, a SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Time-Series Database (TSDB) component of COSMOS. The tsdb_lookup function in the cvt_model.rb file directly places user-supplied input into a SQL query without sanitizing the input. As a result, a user can break out of the initial SQL statement and execute arbitrary SQL commands, including deleting data. This issue has been patched in version 7.0.0-rc3.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

SQL injection (CWE-89) en componente TSDB de OpenC3 con AV:N y PR:L permite ejecución remota de comandos SQL arbitrarios (lectura, modificación, eliminación de datos) y potencial escalada de privilegios en base de datos.

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
