This repository contains a single Metasploit module (mailcleaner_exec.rb) that exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2018-20323) in MailCleaner Community Edition. The exploit targets the /admin/managetracing/search/search HTTP endpoint, which improperly sanitizes user input, allowing an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root. The module requires valid credentials and supports both Python and Unix command payloads, enabling reverse shells or Meterpreter sessions. The code is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HttpClient mixin for network communication. The structure is typical for a Metasploit exploit, with clear separation of authentication and exploitation logic, and customizable payload support. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; endpoints are relative URIs used in HTTP(S) requests.
