# PHP IMAP Remote Command Execution (CVE-2018-19518)
|
|
|
|
[中文版本(Chinese version)](README.zh-cn.md)
|
|
|
|
The PHP IMAP extension is used for email operations in PHP. Its `imap_open` function calls `rsh` to connect to remote shells. In Debian/Ubuntu systems, `ssh` is used by default instead of `rsh` (meaning when you execute the `rsh` command, it actually executes `ssh`).
|
|
|
|
Since the `ssh` command allows setting `-oProxyCommand=` to call third-party commands, attackers can inject this parameter to achieve remote command execution.

|
## Environment Setup
|
|
|
|
Execute the following command to start a vulnerable PHP server:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After the server starts, visit `http://your-ip:8080` to access the web page. The web functionality tests whether a mail server can be successfully connected, requiring server address, username, and password.

## Vulnerability Reproduction
|
|
|
|
Send the following request to execute the command `echo '1234567890'>/tmp/test0001`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST / HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: your-ip
