Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.18%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

MOOS-IvP uFldNodeComms through 24.8.1 trusts the source node identity from the message body rather than validating it from the connection source. Attackers can craft NODE_MESSAGE packets with spoofed source identities to impersonate other nodes and post arbitrary variable notifications without validation.
