This module exploits a buffer overflow in the 'DELETE' command of the IMail IMAP4D service. This vulnerability can only be exploited with a valid username and password. This flaw was patched in version 8.14.
Windows
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/windows/imap/imail_delete
msf exploit(imail_delete) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(imail_delete) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(imail_delete) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(imail_delete) > exploit
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.
