GHSA-hvm9-wc8j-mgrc: TShock Security Escalation Exploit

(updated )

An issue with the way OTAPI manages client connections results in stale UUIDs remaining on RemoteClient instances after a player disconnects.

Because of this, if the following conditions are met a player may assume the login state of a previously connected player:

  1. The server has UUID login enabled
  2. An authenticated player disconnects
  3. A subsequent player connects with a modified client that does not send the ClientUUID#68 packet during connection
  4. The server assigns the same RemoteClient object that belonged to the originally authenticated player to the newly connected player
