Type: webapps
Platform: php

Exploit:
<?/*
File: mailout.php
Affects: E107 (v0.7.8) - mailout.php
Date: 12th April 2007

Issue Description:
===========================================================================
mailout.php provides an interface for the site administrator to
send/configure and test email functionality in e107, the problem occurs
because the user can directly change the $mailer parameter which is passed
to a subsequent popen() call when sending a test email. this allows an attacker
to run any command of their choosing on the system
===========================================================================

Scope:
===========================================================================
The scope of the attack is greatly limited by the fact a user would first
need an administrator account on e107 to exploit the vulnerbility however
in these circumstance full system access can be gained.
===========================================================================

Recommendation:
===========================================================================
No known solution at this time
===========================================================================
