CVE-2024-31839 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability in tiagorlampert CHAOS (CHAOS RAT) version 5.0.1. The flaw is present in the sendCommandHandler function in the handler.go component. A remote attacker may exploit the issue to escalate privileges; public exploitation material describes an XSS-to-RCE attack path.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (chaos_rat_xss_to_rce.rb) targeting the CHAOS RAT (Remote Administration Tool) web application, specifically version 5.0.8 and commit 7d5b20ad7e58e5b525abdcb3a12514b88e87cef2, running on Linux/Unix. The module exploits two vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-30850 (remote command execution) and CVE-2024-31839 (cross-site scripting). The exploit can be performed in three ways: (1) using valid credentials to log in and trigger RCE, (2) using a JWT token from a compromised agent to emulate a host and trigger XSS leading to RCE, or (3) extracting a JWT token from a Chaos Agent binary. The module is operational and provides remote command execution on the target. The main endpoints involved are the root URI (/) and the authentication endpoint (/auth). The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, making use of Metasploit's HTTP client and server mixins. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the module is configurable for target host, port, credentials, JWT, and agent binary.
