WHAT IT DOES

What update_listener_https does on Cobalt Strike MCP Server

AI agents use update_listener_https to create or update resources in Cobalt Strike MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Cobalt Strike MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why update_listener_https is rated Medium

This tool updates/modifies an existing HTTPS listener in a Cobalt Strike red team environment. It's a Write operation (modifying existing configuration), but carries high severity because listener configurations in C2 frameworks directly affect beacon communications, attacker infrastructure, and potentially active red team operations. Misuse could disrupt or redirect C2 traffic.

From the tool's definition 'Update an HTTPS listener' — modifies an existing listener configuration reversibly

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs update_listener_https safely

update_listener_https Rate-limited

update_listener_https stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
