Unauthenticated command execution via UDP control events
Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026
Command injection in Bixat RustFly 2.0.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands through UDP port 5005. The remote UI handler accepts unauthenticated hex-encoded instructions and turns decoded text and key events into desktop input without restricting command-bearing sequences. Network access to the listener is sufficient; the published PoC opens a shell through simulated keystrokes and runs with the desktop user's privileges.
