Steal My Bitcoin CTF PoC
A security researcher has released a proof-of-concept (PoC) script demonstrating a memory corruption vulnerability in PHP that can be exploited to achieve remote code execution. The exploit targets a specific challenge environment to bypass security measures.
Why it matters
This highlights a critical memory management vulnerability in PHP that could impact web servers if not properly patched or configured.
One live PHP callback against the Steal My Bitcoin challenge, start to finish, in a single standard-library Python file.
This README explains stealmybitcoin_poc.py , a single-file Python reproduction of the request sequence used in my Steal My Bitcoin CTF run. It uses only Python's standard library. The script builds the requests itself, checks each leak before moving on, and records the HTTP bytes from a new run.
This can probably be done easier without all the extra debug crap and as in my John Hammond video about the Steam Local Privilege Escalation I discovered, you could probably clean up this ugly PoC.
⚠️ Honestly please clean it up or make your own better version that isn't crumpled by Sol. ⚠️
