Sendmail's from piped program Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary Checks if the remote mail server can be used to gain a shell
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote SMTP server did not complain when issued the
command :
MAIL FROM: |testing
This probably means that it is possible to send mail
that will be bounced to a program, which is
a serious threat, since this allows anyone to execute
arbitrary commands on this host.
*** This security hole might be a false positive, since
*** some MTAs will not complain to this test, but instead
*** just drop the message silently
Solution : upgrade your MTA or change it.
Threat Level: High
