This module exploits a command injection vulnerability found in Hastymail 2.1.1 RC1 due to the insecure usage of the call_user_func_array() function on the "lib/ajax_functions.php" script. Authentication is required on Hastymail in order to exploit the vulnerability. The module has been successfully tested on Hastymail 2.1.1 RC1 over Ubuntu 10.04.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/unix/webapp/hastymail_exec
msf exploit(hastymail_exec) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(hastymail_exec) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(hastymail_exec) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(hastymail_exec) > exploit
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.
