CVE-2020-19769

7.5 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2020-19769 is an insufficient verification vulnerability in the BurnMe() function of Rob The Bank 1.0 that allows attackers to steal tokens from users. Attackers can craft malicious scripts to exploit this flaw, affecting all users of the vulnerable software version.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Rob The Bank
Versions: 1.0
Operating Systems: All platforms running the vulnerable software
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All installations of version 1.0 are vulnerable regardless of configuration.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete theft of all tokens from victim accounts, potentially leading to total loss of digital assets.

🟠

Likely Case

Targeted theft of tokens from users who interact with malicious scripts, resulting in partial asset loss.

🟢

If Mitigated

No token loss if proper input validation and address verification are implemented.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Exploitable via web interfaces or API calls that accept external input.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Could be exploited by malicious insiders or compromised internal systems.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires crafting a script that calls BurnMe() with malicious parameters.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not available

Vendor Advisory: Not available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider upgrading to a different version if available or implementing workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Implement Input Validation

all

Add proper address verification in the BurnMe() function to validate target addresses before processing.

Disable BurnMe() Function

all

Temporarily disable or restrict access to the vulnerable BurnMe() function.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network segmentation to isolate vulnerable systems
  • Monitor for unusual token transfer patterns and implement transaction limits

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if running Rob The Bank version 1.0 and review code for lack of address verification in BurnMe() function.

Check Version:

Check application version through admin interface or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that BurnMe() function now properly validates target addresses before processing transactions.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual BurnMe() function calls
  • Multiple failed address validations
  • Unexpected token transfers

Network Indicators:

  • Suspicious API calls to BurnMe() endpoint
  • Unusual transaction patterns

SIEM Query:

source="application_logs" AND (event="BurnMe" OR event="token_transfer") AND result="success" | stats count by user, target_address
