CVE-2003-0990 is a command injection vulnerability in the parseAddress code of SquirrelMail 1.4.0 and the GPG Plugin 1.1. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands by including shell metacharacters in the "To:" field of an email. The vulnerable code fails to properly sanitize user input before passing it to a shell, leading to the possibility of command execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a command execution vulnerability in the SquirrelMail PGP plugin (versions prior to 2.1). The exploit leverages the ability to send a specially crafted email to a user of SquirrelMail with the PGP plugin enabled. When the email is read, the payload is executed on the underlying Unix server. The module uses Metasploit's SMTPDeliver mixin to send the malicious email and supports arbitrary command payloads (cmd/unix/generic). The exploit is operational and can be used to gain remote command execution on vulnerable servers. The only file present is a Ruby script structured as a standard Metasploit module, with references to CVE-2003-0990 and related advisories.
