Hard-Coded Credentials in LazyOwn RedTeam/APT Framework

Publication date: 2026-07-30

Last updated on: 2026-07-30

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description

LazyOwn RedTeam/APT Framework is an AI-powered C2 and red-team operations framework. Prior to 0.2.154, LazyOwn ships default C2 credentials LazyOwn and LazyOwn in payload.json and core/payload_schema.py and passes them unchanged to lazyc2.py HTTP Basic authentication, allowing any network-reachable attacker who knows the defaults to authenticate to the C2 dashboard with operator-level access. This issue is fixed in 0.2.154.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

LazyOwn RedTeam/APT Framework is an AI-powered command and control (C2) and red-team operations framework. Prior to version 0.2.154, it included default C2 credentials 'LazyOwn' and 'LazyOwn' in payload.json and core/payload_schema.py. These credentials were passed unchanged to lazyc2.py for HTTP Basic authentication, allowing attackers with network access to authenticate to the C2 dashboard with operator-level privileges.

Detection Guidance

Check for default credentials in LazyOwn RedTeam/APT Framework files like payload.json or core/payload_schema.py. Look for hardcoded credentials 'LazyOwn' and 'LazyOwn' used in HTTP Basic authentication for the C2 dashboard.

Impact Analysis

An attacker who knows the default credentials can gain unauthorized access to the C2 dashboard, potentially taking control of the framework, executing malicious operations, or exfiltrating sensitive data. This could lead to complete compromise of the red-team infrastructure and any systems it manages.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and data breaches, violating GDPR's data protection requirements and HIPAA's security rules. Organizations using the affected framework may face legal penalties, reputational damage, and loss of compliance certifications.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade LazyOwn RedTeam/APT Framework to version 0.2.154 or later to remove default credentials. Rotate any exposed credentials and audit authentication logs for unauthorized access.
