Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Yamcs Core (org.yamcs:yamcs-core) versions 5.13.0 before 5.13.2 and before 5.12.8 are affected. Any authenticated user, including one with no assigned roles, can bypass missing function-level access checks in several REST API endpoints to read historical packet and event index metadata, disable the COP-1 telecommand protocol, or change the simulation time. Upgrade to version 5.13.2 or 5.12.8.
