GHSA-wgx6-g857-jjf7: OpenC3 COSMOS: Hijacked session token can be used to reset password for persistence

April 22, 2026

The OpenC3 password change functionality allows a user to change their password without providing the old password, by accepting a valid session token instead. In assumed breach scenarios, this behaviour can be exploited by an attacker who has already obtained a valid session token, to gain persistence in hijacked account (including admin) and prevent legitimate users from accessing the account.
