| Detailed Description |
The BasiliX Webmail installed on the Web server, according to its version number, has an Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability.
BasiliX is a PHP and Internet Messaging Access Protocol (IMAP) based Web mail program that uses the MySQL database server. Basilix Webmail 1.0.3beta and 1.0.2beta could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands, caused by a failure of the login script('login.php3') in Basilix to sanitize user input. By submitting a specially crafted web request, which contains malicious commands for the "$username" variable, a remote attacker could execute commands on the mail server with the privileges of the web server.
