CVE-2024-45257 is a command injection vulnerability in BYOB (Build Your Own Botnet) 2.0. The issue is present in the payload build page and is triggered via a crafted build parameter that reaches the freeze functionality in core/generators.py. Insufficient neutralization of attacker-controlled input allows arbitrary operating system commands to be executed on the server hosting the application.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (byob_unauth_rce.rb) targeting two critical vulnerabilities in the BYOB (Build Your Own Botnet) web GUI: CVE-2024-45256 (unauthenticated arbitrary file write) and CVE-2024-45257 (authenticated command injection). The exploit works in two stages: first, it uploads a malicious SQLite database to create a new admin user without authentication; second, it logs in as the new admin and exploits a command injection vulnerability in the payload generation endpoint to execute arbitrary commands (such as fetching and running a reverse shell payload). The module is fully weaponized, supporting customizable payloads and leveraging Metasploit's HTTP client/server mixins. The main endpoints targeted are '/api/file/add' for file upload and '/api/payload/generate' for command injection. The code is written in Ruby and structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
