Unauthenticated C2 access via forged implant registration
Published Apr 16, 2025 · Updated Apr 16, 2025
Improper access control in LRQA Nettitude PoshC2 after commit 09ee2cf allows remote attackers to receive and execute C2 tasks. The C2 listener accepts a fabricated implant check-in as a registered infected machine and returns operator-queued commands without authenticating the client. No credentials or user interaction are required; successful registration exposes queued task content and accepts attacker-supplied command results.
