Threat: Backdoor.Win32.Xel
Vulnerability: Remote Authentication Buffer Overflow
Description: Xel listens on TCP port 8023 and requires authentication
good for them!, upon connecting you are greeted with a password
prompt:

XeL TROJAN based on ULTOR'S TROJAN

password:

For incorrect passwords we get "Wrong password" response. However, by
entering a password with a length of about 125 characters, we trigger
the buffer overflow vuln. Moreover, we can also send a larger payload
using TCP socket to supply shellcode.

Password string:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBB

The below PoC, last eight bytes 42424242 (B) will overwrite the
instruction pointer (EIP), potentially allowing control of the
malwares execution flow and undermining its authentication mechanism.

Type: PE32
MD5: 3648c68bfe395fb9980ae547d881572c
Vuln ID: MVID-2021-0044
Dropped files:
ASLR: False
DEP: False
Safe SEH: True
