CVE-2024-30850:
vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

CVE-2024-30850 is a remote code execution vulnerability discovered in CHAOS RAT v5.0.1, specifically affecting the BuildClient function within client_service.go. The vulnerability was disclosed on April 12, 2024, and allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via command injection (Chebuya Blog).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the BuildClient function of client_service.go where insufficient input sanitization of the ServerAddress parameter allows command injection. While the application validates that the input is either a valid IP address or URL, the URL validation is insufficient to prevent shell metacharacters from being injected. This allows attackers to construct valid URLs that can download and execute shell scripts from attacker-controlled servers. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH) with vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (NVD).

Impact

When successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on the CHAOS RAT server. The impact is particularly severe when chained with CVE-2024-31839, an XSS vulnerability, as it enables attackers to execute commands on the RAT server with elevated privileges (Chebuya Blog).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been patched in a newer version released on May 29, 2024. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of CHAOS RAT to mitigate this vulnerability (Chebuya Blog).
