e107 email.php Arbitrary Mail Relay

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21621

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that can be used to send arbitrary email messages.

Description

The version of e107 installed on the remote host contains a script, 'email.php' that allows an unauthenticated user to send email messages to arbitrary users and to control, to a large degree, the content of those messages. This issue can be exploited to send spam or other types of abuse through the affected system.

Solution

Either remove the affected script or upgrade to e107 version 0.7.5 or later, which uses a 'captcha' system to minimize automated exploitation of this issue.
