The Tilt HUD HTTP server exposes state-changing and sensitive-read endpoints with no authentication. When the HUD is bound to a non-loopback address, a network attacker can trigger the developer's pre-defined Tiltfile resources, tamper with Tiltfile arguments, read full engine state including the session token, and reach the Tilt apiserver through a token-attaching proxy.
The HUD server registers its handlers on a gorilla/mux router with no authenticating middleware. The cookieWrapper helper emits the Tilt-Token cookie but never validates it, and is attached only to the static-asset prefix.
An unauthenticated network caller can force any developer-defined resource to run on the host as the tilt user (choosing which and when, not the command text), set arbitrary Tiltfile arguments, disclose the session token and full engine state, and invoke apiserver resources via the loopback-token proxy. Because tilt up runs with the developer's privileges and credentials, the impact reaches the developer's environment and cluster.
