Maltrail Unauthenticated Command Injection
Description
Maltrail is a malicious traffic detection system, utilizing publicly available blacklists containing malicious and/or generally suspicious trails. The Maltrail versions < 0.54 is suffering from a command injection vulnerability. The `subprocess.check_output` function in `mailtrail/core/http.py` contains a command injection vulnerability in the `params.get("username")` parameter. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting arbitrary OS commands into the username parameter. The injected commands will be executed with the privileges of the running process. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication. Successfully tested against Maltrail versions 0.52 and 0.53.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
