## Overview

Multiple vulnerabilities in NASA fprime-gds through 3.4.3 allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution on the ground station host and inject arbitrary commands to connected spacecraft. The Flask application in src/fprime_gds/flask/app.py applies no authentication to any endpoint.

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
