Last modified
CVE-2026-85443 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. MOOS core-moos through 10.4.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability in MOOSCommServer::ListenLoop() where the accept thread performs a blocking receive without timeout during the wire-protocol handshake. An attacker can open a TCP connection to the MOOSDB port and send no data, causing the accept thread to block indefinitely while holding the socket-list lock, preventing all subsequent client connections.. EPSS estimates a 0.63% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
