SquirrelMail PGP Plugin Command Execution (SMTP)
Description
This module exploits a command execution vulnerability in the PGP plugin of SquirrelMail. This flaw was found while quickly grepping the code after release of some information at http://www.wslabi.com/. Later, iDefense published an advisory .... Reading an email in SquirrelMail with the PGP plugin activated is enough to compromise the underlying server. Only "cmd/unix/generic" payloads were tested.

- 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.
