Unauthenticated Remote Command Execution in CryptoNote Wallets
CVE-2018-1000093 · MEDIUM Severity
AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
CryptoNote version version 0.8.9 and possibly later contain a local RPC server which does not require authentication, as a result the walletd and the simplewallet RPC daemons will process any commands sent to them, resulting in remote command execution and a takeover of the cryptocurrency wallet if an attacker can trick an application such as a web browser into connecting and sending a command for example. This attack appears to be exploitable via a victim visiting a webpage hosting malicious content that trigger such behavior.
