CVE-2026-55547

Summary

Yamcs is a mission control framework. Prior to 5.12.8 and 5.13.2, Yamcs omits SystemPrivilege.ControlAccess checks from IamApi.listRoles, IamApi.getRole, and IamApi.listPrivileges in yamcs-core/src/main/java/org/yamcs/http/api/IamApi.java. Any authenticated account can call GET /api/roles, GET /api/roles/{name}, and GET /api/privileges to enumerate available system privileges and configured role mappings. The disclosure reveals security configuration that can support targeted privilege-escalation attempts. This issue is fixed in versions 5.12.8 and 5.13.2.
