CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The SuicidalSleeper component in MOOS core-moos versions up to 10.4.0 is vulnerable due to a hard-coded passphrase for multicast command authorization, allowing any multicast-reachable peer to enumerate and terminate MOOS processes. This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized shutdowns of critical processes, potentially disrupting operations. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize remediation to prevent exploitation and maintain system integrity.

Original NVD Description

MOOS core-moos through 10.4.0 contains a remote process termination vulnerability in the SuicidalSleeper component that uses a hard-coded passphrase for multicast command authorization. Any multicast-reachable peer can enumerate MOOS processes and send termination commands to trigger process shutdown by exploiting the default multicast group and port with the known passphrase.
