## What is CVE-2026-60112?

CVE-2026-60112 is a critical missing authorization vulnerability in NASA-AMMOS AIT-GUI, published on 29 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

AMMOS Instrument Toolkit (AIT) GUI before 2.5.1 contains a missing authentication vulnerability that allows any unauthenticated network attacker to obtain a valid session and issue arbitrary spacecraft commands by calling Sessions.create() without any credential check. Attackers can exploit the unauthenticated session issuance in Sessions.create() and subsequently invoke handle_cmd() to forward arbitrary commands directly to the AIT command bus without any authentication gate between session creation and command dispatch.

Weakness: CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-60112 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-60112 is a critical missing authorization vulnerability in NASA-AMMOS AIT-GUI, published on 29 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-60112 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: NASA-AMMOS AIT-GUI. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
