A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the HTTPMail service of MailEnable Enterprise 1.04 and earlier and Professional 1.54 and earlier. The vulnerability is triggered by sending an overly long HTTP Authorization header, which can overflow a buffer and potentially allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability in the MailEnable web service (mehttps.exe) on Windows. The exploit works by sending an HTTP request with an overly long Authorization header, triggering a buffer overflow and allowing arbitrary code execution. The module is operational and allows the attacker to deliver any Metasploit-supported payload (such as a reverse shell) to the vulnerable service. The exploit targets MailEnable Enterprise Edition versions prior to 1.0.5 and Professional versions prior to 1.55, as referenced by CVE-2005-1348. The main attack vector is network-based, requiring access to the HTTP(S) service exposed by the vulnerable MailEnable installation. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
