Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid Mythic account assigned the spectator role - a low-privilege role intended for read-only observation of C2 operations. The attacker must have network access to the Mythic server and be authenticated (PR:L per the CVSS 4.0 vector). The vulnerable endpoint is specifically eventing_import_automatic_webhook, which must be reachable and present in the deployed Mythic version (any release before 3.4.0.60). No additional special configuration beyond a standard Mythic deployment is required. Exploitation is limited by the mandatory spectator-role credential requirement - unauthenticated external attackers cannot exploit this directly. Deployments with no spectator accounts provisioned are not at practical risk.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L reflects a realistic moderate risk. The PR:L requirement is the primary limiting factor - exploitation is gated on valid spectator-role credentials, which meaningfully narrows the attack surface to insiders, compromised accounts, or scenarios where spectator access is loosely granted. No KEV listing confirms this is not known to be actively exploited at time of analysis, and no POC is referenced in the provided intelligence. EPSS data was not included in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from that signal. The VI:L and VA:L impacts are low individually, but in the specific operational context of a C2 framework, unauthorized modification of automation workflows and EventGroups could disrupt live red team engagements, inject malicious automation steps into an active operation, or destroy evidence of prior activity - risks that are contextually more significant than the raw score implies for security operations teams running Mythic in production. No conflicting signals between data sources were observed.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker or malicious insider holding a spectator-role account in a Mythic deployment sends crafted HTTP POST requests directly to the eventing_import_automatic_webhook endpoint, bypassing the intended role enforcement at the middleware layer. Using this access, they create unauthorized automation workflows or delete existing EventGroups, potentially injecting rogue automation into an active red team operation or sabotaging operational continuity. No special tooling is required beyond standard HTTP request capabilities and valid spectator credentials.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 29, 2026

Authorization bypass in Mythic C2 framework before 3.4.0.60 allows authenticated spectator-role users to perform write operations against the eventing_import_automatic_webhook endpoint, which is incorrectly registered under spectator-permitted middleware. Spectator accounts - intended to be read-only observers of red team operations - can exploit this misconfiguration to create and delete automation workflows and EventGroups, effectively escalating their privilege within an active operation. No public exploit code has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists; a vendor-released patch is available in v3.4.0.60.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Mythic to version 3.4.0.60 or later; this is the primary and recommended remediation. The fix is implemented in commit 82648e8241b800a32e1882afc310e7316d98ebaa (https://github.com/its-a-feature/Mythic/commit/82648e8241b800a32e1882afc310e7316d98ebaa), which corrects the middleware registration for the eventing_import_automatic_webhook endpoint. Prior to patching, teams should audit all spectator-role accounts and, if operationally feasible, revoke or suspend spectator accounts until the upgrade is applied - this eliminates the PR:L prerequisite entirely at the cost of losing read-only observability for those users. Additionally, review existing EventGroups and automation workflows for unexpected or unauthorized entries that could indicate prior exploitation. The VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/mythic-unauthorized-automation-workflow-modification-via-eventing-import-automatic-webhook-endpoint) and GitHub issue #565 (https://github.com/its-a-feature/Mythic/issues/565) provide additional context.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Mythic is an open-source command-and-control (C2) framework designed for adversary simulation and red team operations, maintained at github.com/its-a-feature/Mythic. It implements a role-based access control model with distinct roles including operators and spectators, where spectators are meant to have read-only visibility into operations. The root cause is CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization): the endpoint eventing_import_automatic_webhook - which handles creation and deletion of automation workflows (EventGroups) - was registered under middleware that permits spectator-role requests, rather than under the middleware enforcing operator or admin privileges. This is a middleware routing misconfiguration rather than a logic flaw in the endpoint itself, meaning the endpoint performs write operations correctly but is reachable by an insufficiently privileged role. The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N confirms network-accessible exploitation with low-privilege credentials and no attack-path complexity.

DescriptionCVE.org

Mythic before 3.4.0.60 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated spectator-role users to perform unauthorized write operations by accessing the eventing_import_automatic_webhook endpoint registered under spectator-permitted middleware. Attackers with spectator role can exploit this misconfigured access control to create and delete automation workflows, making unauthorized modifications to operation automation configuration and EventGroups.
