GUESTEX-exec.pl

GUESTEX guestbook is vulnerable to remote code execution in how it handles its 'email' parameter. The script does not properly sanitize the 'email' parameter, which is used when opening a pipe to sendmail.

Mitigation:

Ensure proper sanitization of user input, especially when using it to execute commands or open system resources.

## Creator: K-sPecial (xzziroz.net) of .aware (awarenetwork.org)
## Name: GUESTEX-exec.pl
## Date: 06/07/2006
## Version: 1.00
##  1.00 (06/07/2006) - GUESTEX-exec.pl created
## 
## Description: GUESTEX guestbook is vulnerable to remote code execution in how it 
##  handles it's 'email' parameter. $form{'email'} is used when openning a pipe to 
##  sendmail in this manner: open(MAIL, "$sendmail $form{'email'}) where $form{'email'} 
##  is not properly sanitized.
##
## Usage: specify the host and location of the script as the first argument. hosts can 
##  contain ports (host:port) and you CAN specify a single command to execute via the 
##  commandline, although if you do not you will be given a shell like interface to 
##  repeatedly enter commands.
