Summary

Ground Station from 0.6.0 before 0.8.20 does not restrict the get-orbital-sources Socket.IO handler, also exposed as get-tle-sources, to administrators. An authenticated operator-role user can call either handler to retrieve the plaintext usernames, passwords, and tokens stored for basic and token orbital sources. The flaw is a missing authorization check (CWE-862).

Description from the CNA

Ground Station from 0.6.0 before 0.8.20 does not restrict the get-orbital-sources Socket.IO handler (also exposed as get-tle-sources) to administrators, although the orbital-source write handlers are admin-only. An authenticated operator-role user can call either handler to retrieve the plaintext usernames, passwords, and tokens that administrators stored for basic and token orbital sources.
