CVE-2024-21663Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated shell command execution via unsanitized prips argument

Published Jan 8, 2024 · Updated Sep 4, 2024

Command injection in DEMON1A Discord-Recon before 0.0.8 allows remote authenticated users to execute shell commands through .prips. The app.py prips handler interpolates its unsanitized argument into a subprocess.Popen command string and enables shell interpretation. Any Discord server member able to invoke .prips can run commands with the privileges of the bot process, without an admin role.
