CRITICAL 9.8REMOTE
CVE-2026-68502 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.8) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
LazyOwn RedTeam/APT Framework is an AI-powered C2 and red-team operations framework. Prior to 0.2.154, LazyOwn's lazyc2.py registers an unauthenticated Socket.IO input event handler that dispatches data.get('value') to LazyOwnShell.one_cmd, reaching LazyOwnShell.do_cmd and subprocess.call(command, shell=True), allowing unauthenticated remote code execution in the C2 process. This issue is fixed in 0.2.154.
Why this priority
- Critical severity
- CISA SSVC: public proof of concept
- CISA SSVC: automatable with total technical impact
- Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action
A fixed release or distro patch exists.
