Matt Wright guestbook.pl Arbitrary Command Execution
Description
The Matt Wright guestbook.pl <= v2.3.1 CGI script contains a flaw that may allow arbitrary command execution. The vulnerability requires that HTML posting is enabled in the guestbook.pl script, and that the web server must have the Server-Side Include (SSI) script handler enabled for the '.html' file type. By combining the script weakness with non-default server configuration, it is possible to exploit this vulnerability successfully.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
