Technical Description
The locally served web site on the Garmin WDU (v1 1.4.6 and v2 5.0) allows its authentication to be bypassed. The WDU web site only performs authentication with the client within the client's browser. The WebSockets used to communicate with the WDU server do not enforce any authentication. An attacker may bypass all authentication mechanisms by directly utilizing the remote APIs available on the websocket.

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from garmin. Update empirbus_wireless_display_unit_firmware to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
