DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Sliver is a command and control framework that uses a custom Wireguard netstack. Prior to 1.7.0, the DNS C2 listener accepts unauthenticated TOTP bootstrap messages and allocates server-side DNS sessions without validating OTP values, even when EnforceOTP is enabled. Because sessions are stored without a cleanup/expiry path in this flow, an unauthenticated remote actor can repeatedly create sessions and drive memory exhaustion. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.7.0.

AnalysisAI

Memory exhaustion in Sliver C2 framework prior to version 1.7.0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass OTP validation in the DNS listener and create unbounded server-side sessions without expiry mechanisms. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, enabling attackers to repeatedly allocate sessions and exhaust server memory resources. The DNS C2 listener accepts bootstrap messages without proper authentication even when OTP enforcement is enabled.

Technical ContextAI

Classified as CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function). Affects Sliver. Sliver is a command and control framework that uses a custom Wireguard netstack. Prior to 1.7.0, the DNS C2 listener accepts unauthenticated TOTP bootstrap messages and allocates server-side DNS sessions without validating OTP values, even when EnforceOTP is enabled. Because sessions are stored without a cleanup/expiry path in this flow, an unauthenticated remote actor can repeatedly create sessions and drive memory exhaustion. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.7.0.

RemediationAI

Fixed in version 1.7.0.. Restrict network access to the affected service where possible.
