CVE-2024-41570

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2024-41570 is an unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability in Havoc 2 C2 framework's demon callback handling. It allows attackers to send arbitrary network traffic from the team server, potentially exposing internal networks or enabling further attacks. This affects all users running Havoc 2 version 0.7 with default configurations.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Havoc 2
Versions: 0.7
Operating Systems: All platforms running Havoc 2
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The vulnerability exists in the demon callback handling mechanism and affects all deployments of version 0.7.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Attackers could pivot through the team server to attack internal systems, exfiltrate sensitive data, or use the server as a proxy for attacks against other targets.

🟠

Likely Case

Attackers will use the vulnerable server to scan internal networks, access internal services, or launch attacks against other systems while hiding their true origin.

🟢

If Mitigated

With proper network segmentation and egress filtering, the impact is limited to the team server's network segment and potential information disclosure about internal services.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

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

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not available

Vendor Advisory: Not available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch is available. Users should upgrade to a newer version if available or implement workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate the Havoc team server in a restricted network segment with limited egress access

Egress Filtering

all

Implement strict outbound firewall rules to limit what the team server can communicate with

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Deploy network monitoring to detect unusual outbound connections from the team server
  • Consider migrating to alternative C2 frameworks or versions without this vulnerability

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if running Havoc 2 version 0.7. Review the demon callback configuration and test for SSRF using controlled endpoints.

Check Version:

Check Havoc 2 version in the team server interface or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Test that the team server can no longer make arbitrary outbound requests through demon callbacks.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from team server
  • Demon callback requests to unexpected destinations

Network Indicators:

  • Team server making connections to internal services it shouldn't access
  • Outbound traffic to unexpected IP ranges

SIEM Query:

source_ip=team_server AND (destination_port=80 OR destination_port=443 OR destination_port=22) AND NOT destination_ip IN allowed_ips
