Last modified
CVE-2026-85424 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. MOOS core-moos through 10.4.0 lacks authentication in the wire protocol, allowing unauthenticated clients to connect with full publish, subscribe, and database clear privileges.

EPSS estimates a 0.55% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
