e107 Email Injection Vulnerability Vulnerability Scan


Vulnerability Scan Summary
Tries to send arbitrary email with e107

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test

Synopsis :

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

Description :

The version of e107 installed on the remote host contains a script,
'email.php', that allows an unauthenticated user to send e-mail
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.
