GHSA-6m68-r693-78qx: Tilt: Cross-site WebSocket hijacking of the Tilt HUD stream

highCVE-2026-55883
Summary The Tilt HUD WebSocket (/ws/view) is gated by a CSRF token, but the token is served by an unauthenticated endpoint and the upgrader accepts any client that omits an Origin header. When the HUD is network-exposed, an attacker can open the HUD stream and read the developer's session state. Details The upgrader accepts a connection when the csrf query parameter matches a process-wide token (websocketCSRFToken). That token is served as text/plain by an unauthenticated handler (WebsocketToken, mounted at /api/websocket_token), so any reachable caller can fetch it and connect to /ws/view?csrf=<token>. When the parameter does not match, the upgrader falls back to a same-origin check that returns true when the Origin header is absent, so a non-browser client that omits Origin is accepted anyway. The token has no per-session binding. Impact An attacker who can reach the HUD listener can open the HUD WebSocket and receive the full view stream — session state, Tiltfile contents, resource statuses, and continued updates — defeating the intended anti-CSWSH protection. Conditions for exploitation - Affected version in >= 0.24.0, <= 0.37.3. - HUD bound to a non-loopback address (tilt up --host 0.0.0.0, or TILT_HOST set). - Network reachability to the listener (default port 10350). Not affected - The default loopback-only bind is not reachable from the network. Workarounds Use the default loopback bind (omit --host, unset TILT_HOST). No complete workaround short of upgrading for non-loopback deployments.
