pBot Remote Code Execution (“*” hostauth)
pBot is a PHP IRC bot that is vulnerable to remote code execution due to the use of an insecure hostauth value. An attacker can send a malicious payload to the bot, which will then be executed on the server. This payload can be used to delete the bot's originating script, and cause the bot to die.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the hostauth value is set to a secure value, and that the bot is not exposed to the public internet.
