Low signal — verdict needed

Few public signals point to active risk. Whether a scanner hit here is a true or false positive depends on your version and config — community verdicts decide.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N

Yamcs is a mission control framework. Prior to 5.12.7, the authentication endpoint POST /auth/token in yamcs-core, handled by yamcs-core/src/main/java/org/yamcs/http/auth/AuthHandler.java, lacked any rate limiting, account lockout, or failed-attempt throttling, so an unauthenticated remote attacker could perform unlimited password-guessing attempts against any user account, significantly increasing the risk of successful brute-force attacks. This issue is fixed in versions 5.12.7 and 5.13.0.

    A working public exploit is published for this, so the barrier to attack is low. It is reachable over the network with no authentication and no user interaction, which is the most dangerous profile. Patch this on priority and confirm the fix holds.
