A stack-based buffer overflow exists in IPSwitch IMail 8.13, where a remote authenticated user can trigger the vulnerability by sending an overly long IMAP DELETE command. This allows for the execution of arbitrary code on the affected system due to improper bounds checking on user-supplied input.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/imap/imail_delete.rb) that exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the 'DELETE' command of the IMail IMAP4D service (CVE-2004-1520). The exploit targets Windows systems running IMail IMAP4D versions prior to 8.14. Successful exploitation requires valid IMAP credentials. The module constructs a specially crafted IMAP DELETE command containing a payload (up to 614 bytes, avoiding bad characters) that triggers the overflow and allows arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges. The exploit is operational and leverages Metasploit's payload system, allowing for customizable post-exploitation actions. The only network endpoint involved is the IMAP service, typically running on TCP port 143.
This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability in the CRAM-MD5 authentication mechanism of the MDaemon IMAP service (version 8.0.3) running on Windows XP SP2. The exploit connects to the target's IMAP service, initiates CRAM-MD5 authentication, and sends a specially crafted, base64-encoded payload to trigger a buffer overflow, allowing arbitrary code execution. The module is operational and allows the user to select a payload (up to 500 bytes, avoiding null bytes), which will be executed with the privileges of the IMAP service. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the IMAP service (typically TCP port 143) on the target host. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
