Discovered in February 2026, this vulnerability stems from the application\u0026rsquo;s failure to properly validate the \u003ccode\u003eOrigin\u003c/code\u003e header during WebSocket connections established via the \u003ccode\u003e/api/socket\u003c/code\u003e endpoint. An attacker can exploit this flaw to bypass the Same Origin Policy (SOP) by injecting a malicious \u003ccode\u003eOrigin\u003c/code\u003e header alongside a valid \u003ccode\u003eJSESSIONID\u003c/code\u003e of a victim user. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to hijack the WebSocket connection and gain unauthorized access to real-time sensitive data, specifically GPS coordinates and device status information. This poses a significant risk to organizations relying on Traccar for secure location tracking, potentially exposing sensitive location data to unauthorized parties.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker identifies a vulnerable Traccar GPS Tracking System instance running version 6.11.1 or earlier.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker obtains a valid \u003ccode\u003eJSESSIONID\u003c/code\u003e cookie from a legitimate user of the Traccar application, potentially through social engineering or session riding.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker crafts a malicious webpage with JavaScript code to establish a WebSocket connection to the vulnerable \u003ccode\u003e/api/socket\u003c/code\u003e endpoint.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe malicious webpage sets the \u003ccode\u003eOrigin\u003c/code\u003e header to an attacker-controlled domain (e.g., \u003ccode\u003ehttp://hacker.com\u003c/code\u003e) and includes the stolen \u003ccode\u003eJSESSIONID\u003c/code\u003e cookie in the request headers.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Traccar server, failing to validate the \u003ccode\u003eOrigin\u003c/code\u003e header, accepts the WebSocket connection from the attacker\u0026rsquo;s webpage.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker\u0026rsquo;s WebSocket connection now acts as a proxy, receiving real-time data intended for the legitimate user, including GPS coordinates and device status updates.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker logs and analyzes the streamed data, extracting sensitive information such as device locations, routes, and operational status.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker can use the stolen GPS data for malicious purposes, such as tracking assets, identifying patterns of movement, or conducting surveillance.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of this CSWSH vulnerability can result in the leakage of highly sensitive real-time GPS data, including precise location coordinates and device status information.
