Exploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2002-0770. PoCs published by Redix.
AI-analyzed exploit summary The vulnerability in Quake II servers allows a modified client to pass unexpanded variables (e.g., $rcon_password) to the server, which then expands them in its local context, potentially leaking sensitive information. The provided code snippet suggests a client-side modification to exploit this behavior.
Description
Quake 2 (Q2) server 3.20 and 3.21 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive server cvar variables, obtain directory listings, and execute Q2 server admin commands via a client that does not expand "$" macros, which causes the server to expand the macros and leak the information, as demonstrated using "say $rcon_password."
