  1. CISA updated its advisory on ST Engineering iDirect iQ-Series terminals covering four flaws including privilege escalation, CVSS 8.8. Evolution iQ-Series, 3315-Series and 9-Series on 4.5.2.1 or earlier risk auth data exposure and reboot-driven outages. Immediate patching is critical for exposed satcom infrastructure. #SatelliteSecurity #CisaAdvisory #PrivilegeEscalation

  6. Ukraine’s enforcement of verified-only Starlink terminals introduces a new model of satellite access control in conflict zones.

    Operational implications reportedly include:
    • Disruption of adversarial drone command-and-control
    • Attempts at fraudulent terminal re-registration
    • Social engineering targeting civilians
    • Cyber exploitation of reconnection attempts
    The incident demonstrates how:
    – Commercial satellite services are high-value C2 infrastructure
    – Identity verification becomes a strategic defense control
    – Space-based connectivity is now an attack surface
    From a security architecture standpoint, this is a case study in satellite access governance under active conflict conditions.

    How should satellite providers balance neutrality, compliance, and operational control?

  29. CW: research review

    A. Costin et al., "Cybersecurity of COSPAS-SARSAT and EPIRB: threat and attacker models, exploits, future research"¹

    COSPAS-SARSAT is an International programme for "Search and Rescue" (SAR) missions based on the "Satellite Aided Tracking" system (SARSAT). It is designed to provide accurate, timely, and reliable distress alert and location data to help SAR authorities of participating countries to assist persons and vessels in distress. Two types of satellite constellations serve COSPAS-SARSAT, low earth orbit search and rescue (LEOSAR) and geostationary orbiting search and rescue (GEOSAR). Despite its nearly-global deployment and critical importance, unfortunately enough, we found that COSPAS-SARSAT protocols and standard 406 MHz transmissions lack essential means of cybersecurity.
    In this paper, we investigate the cybersecurity aspects of COSPAS-SARSAT space-/satellite-based systems. In particular, we practically and successfully implement and demonstrate the first (to our knowledge) attacks on COSPAS-SARSAT 406 MHz protocols, namely replay, spoofing, and protocol fuzzing on EPIRB protocols. We also identify a set of core research challenges preventing more effective cybersecurity research in the field and outline the main cybersecurity weaknesses and possible mitigations to increase the system's cybersecurity level.
