Impact

A command injection vulnerability exists in the payload build page of BYOB (Build Your Own Botnet) version 2.0. By manipulating the build parameter, an attacker can cause the server to execute arbitrary operating‑system commands as the web application user. This flaw permits remote code execution, potentially compromising the entire host system. The weakness is a classic command injection flaw classified as CWE-77.

Affected Systems

The affected product is BYOB (Build Your Own Botnet) 2.0, an open‑source tool for building botnet payloads. No other product versions are listed as vulnerable. Vendor information was not provided by the CNA, so the assessment is limited to the BYOB identifier and its core/generators.py module.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.3 indicates high severity, and the EPSS score of 60% reflects a relatively high probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The likely attack vector is the public or unprotected payload build endpoint, which an attacker can access without authentication. When triggered, the flaw allows execution of arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web application process, leading to full compromise of the host. Additional exploitation requires only network connectivity to the target system and the ability to send a crafted build request.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • If immediate patching is not possible, restrict access to the payload build page using firewalls or network segmentation to limit exposure until remediation is applied.
  • Implement input validation on the build parameter, ensuring only expected values are accepted or properly sanitizing any user‑supplied data before expansion into system calls, thereby mitigating command injection.
  • Check the BYOB project’s GitHub releases or community advisories for updates that address the issue, and apply them as soon as they become available.
