Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
Remote Control Server, maintained by Steppschuh, 3.1.1.12 allows unauthenticated remote code execution when authentication is disabled, which is the default configuration. The server exposes a custom UDP-based control protocol that accepts remote keyboard input events without verification. An attacker on the same network can issue a sequence of keystroke commands to launch a system shell and execute arbitrary commands, resulting in full system compromise.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability exists in Remote Control Server version 3.1.1.12, where if authentication is disabled (which is the default), an attacker on the same network can send remote keyboard input events via a custom UDP-based control protocol without any verification. This allows the attacker to execute arbitrary commands remotely, leading to full system compromise.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can gain full control over the affected system by executing arbitrary commands remotely without authentication. This can lead to unauthorized access, data theft, system manipulation, or disruption of services.
