Matt Wright FormMail Remote Command Execution Vulnerability
FormMail is a widely-used web-based e-mail gateway, which allows form-based input to be emailed to a specified user. User supplied data (from the "recipient" hidden field) is passed to a Perl OPEN function without proper input verification, allowing the use of the command separation shell metacharacter (;) to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host. Consequences could range from destruction of data and web site defacement to elevation of privileges through locally exploitable vulnerabilities. |
