# BBOT's insufficient sanitization issues in gitdumper.py can lead to RCE

BBOT's gitdumper module does not sanitize data from a scanned target's .git files, including a malicious .git/index that causes arbitrary file writes. A malicious web server being scanned can use this to get code executed on the machine running BBOT.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- pypi:bbot affected < 2.7.0 fixed 2.7.0

## How to check

- Check the installed version with `pip show bbot` and compare it to `2.7.0`
- Check whether the gitdumper module is enabled in scan configs, since it is the vulnerable code path

## Fix

- Upgrade `bbot` to `2.7.0` or later with `pip install -U bbot>=2.7.0`

## Timeline

## From the sources

### Summary

bbot's `gitdumper.py` insufficiently sanitises a `.git/config` file, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE).

bbot's `gitdumper.py` can be made to consume a malicious `.git/index` file, leading to arbitrary file write which can be used to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE).

### Impact

A user who uses bbot to scan a malicious webserver may have arbitrary code executed on their system.
