Package

pip bbot (pip)

Affected versions

< 2.7.0

Patched versions

Description

Summary

bbot's gitdumper.py insufficiently sanitises a .git/config file, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE).

bbot's gitdumper.py can be made to consume a malicious .git/index file, leading to arbitrary file write which can be used to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE).

Impact

A user who uses bbot to scan a malicious webserver may have arbitrary code executed on their system.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
