This flaw impacts Tilt versions 0.24.0 through 0.37.3. The vulnerability stems from two issues: an unauthenticated endpoint (\u003ccode\u003e/api/websocket_token\u003c/code\u003e) that readily provides the \u003ccode\u003ewebsocketCSRFToken\u003c/code\u003e, and a WebSocket upgrader that accepts connections from clients omitting the \u003ccode\u003eOrigin\u003c/code\u003e header. An attacker can combine these weaknesses to bypass intended security controls. If a Tilt HUD instance is configured to bind to a non-loopback address (e.g., \u003ccode\u003e0.0.0.0\u003c/code\u003e) and is network-reachable on its default port (10350), an adversary can leverage this to open the HUD WebSocket stream and compromise sensitive developer data, including session state, \u003ccode\u003eTiltfile\u003c/code\u003e contents, and real-time resource statuses, thereby undermining the integrity of the development environment.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReconnaissance \u0026amp; Initial Access\u003c/strong\u003e: An attacker identifies a vulnerable Tilt HUD instance (versions 0.24.0-0.37.3) that is configured to bind to a non-loopback address (e.g., \u003ccode\u003e0.0.0.0\u003c/code\u003e) and is network-reachable on its default port \u003ccode\u003e10350\u003c/code\u003e.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCSRF Token Acquisition\u003c/strong\u003e: The attacker sends an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to the exposed Tilt instance's \u003ccode\u003e/api/websocket_token\u003c/code\u003e endpoint.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToken Response\u003c/strong\u003e: The vulnerable Tilt instance responds with the \u003ccode\u003ewebsocketCSRFToken\u003c/code\u003e in \u003ccode\u003etext/plain\u003c/code\u003e format.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWebSocket Connection Initiation (Option 1 - CSRF Token)\u003c/strong\u003e: Using the obtained \u003ccode\u003ewebsocketCSRFToken\u003c/code\u003e, the attacker crafts and sends a WebSocket upgrade request to \u003ccode\u003e/ws/view?csrf=\u0026lt;token\u0026gt;\u003c/code\u003e.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWebSocket Connection Initiation (Option 2 - Origin Bypass)\u003c/strong\u003e: Alternatively, the attacker sends a WebSocket upgrade request to \u003ccode\u003e/ws/view\u003c/code\u003e while intentionally omitting the \u003ccode\u003eOrigin\u003c/code\u003e HTTP header, exploiting the server's fallback logic for same-origin checks.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuccessful WebSocket Upgrade\u003c/strong\u003e: The vulnerable Tilt instance accepts the WebSocket connection, establishing a communication channel with the attacker.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eData Collection \u0026amp; Exfiltration\u003c/strong\u003e: The attacker receives and exfiltrates a continuous stream of sensitive developer session data, \u003ccode\u003eTiltfile\u003c/code\u003e contents, and real-time resource statuses over the established WebSocket connection.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2026-55883 allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access to critical information within a developer's environment.
