Longpath communicates with OpenHPSDR-compatible radios over local network protocols (UDP for Protocol 1, UDP multi-port for Protocol 2). Security concerns include:
- Buffer overflows in OpenHPSDR protocol packet parsing (1032-byte P1 Metis frames, P2 UDP data)
- Command injection via malformed protocol responses
- Denial of service from crafted UDP packets on port 1024
- Sensitive data exposure (e.g. network addresses in logs)
- WDSP buffer handling (malformed I/Q data causing out-of-bounds access)
- WebSocket server endpoints (TCI, future integrations)
Only the latest version on the main branch receives security fixes.
