Description#
The code implements a reverse shell by connecting to a remote server and spawning a shell process (like /bin/sh), which can give an attacker remote command execution on your system. This behavior allows someone to control the affected machine over the network.
Impact#
If exploited, an attacker could gain full remote access to the server, allowing them to run arbitrary commands, steal sensitive data, modify files, or use the machine as part of a larger attack. This can lead to complete system compromise and data breaches.
