This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the MailEnable web service. The vulnerability is triggered when a large value is placed into the Authorization header of the web request. MailEnable Enterprise Edition versions prior to 1.0.5 and MailEnable Professional versions prior to 1.55 are affected.
Windows
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/windows/http/mailenable_auth_header
msf exploit(mailenable_auth_header) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(mailenable_auth_header) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(mailenable_auth_header) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(mailenable_auth_header) > 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.
