CVE-2026-68503: CWE-1392: Use of Default Credentials in grisuno LazyOwn
CVE-2026-68503 is a critical vulnerability in the LazyOwn RedTeam/APT Framework prior to version 0.2.154. The software shipped with default C2 credentials ('LazyOwn'/'LazyOwn') hardcoded in configuration files and used without change for HTTP Basic authentication. This allows any attacker with network access who knows these default credentials to gain operator-level access to the C2 dashboard. The issue is fixed in version 0.2.154.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
LazyOwn versions before 0.2.154 contain hardcoded default credentials ('LazyOwn'/'LazyOwn') in payload.json and core/payload_schema.py, which are passed unchanged to lazyc2.py for HTTP Basic authentication. This design flaw permits any network-reachable attacker aware of these defaults to authenticate to the command and control (C2) dashboard with full operator privileges. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-1392 (Use of Default Credentials) and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, indicating critical severity. The flaw is resolved in version 0.2.154.
Potential Impact
An attacker who can reach the LazyOwn C2 server over the network and knows the default credentials can authenticate with operator-level access. This grants full control over the C2 dashboard, potentially allowing unauthorized command execution and red-team operation manipulation. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as reflected by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade to LazyOwn version 0.2.154 or later, where the default credentials issue is fixed. Until upgrading, avoid exposing the C2 server to untrusted networks and change default credentials if possible. Patch status is confirmed fixed in 0.2.154.
