Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input passed via specially crafted “From” address to mailSend() function. A remote attacker can use backslashed double quote character (e.g. \") to pass additional commands to original mail command and execute them with privileges of the current web server user.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
