CVE-2025-66398 – Signal K Server has Unauthenticated State Pollution leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE)

CVE ID : CVE-2025-66398

Published : Jan. 1, 2026, 6 p.m. | 24 minutes ago

Description : Signal K Server is a server application that runs on a central hub in a boat. Prior to version 2.19.0, an unauthenticated attacker can pollute the internal state (`restoreFilePath`) of the server via the `/skServer/validateBackup` endpoint. This allows the attacker to hijack the administrator’s “Restore” functionality to overwrite critical server configuration files (e.g., `security.json`, `package.json`), leading to account takeover and Remote Code Execution (RCE). Version 2.19.0 patches this vulnerability.

Severity: 0.0 | NA
