CVE-2024-3196Public exploit

Root command execution via unsanitized SOAP parameters

Published Apr 29, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

OS command injection in MailCleaner 2023.03.0 through 2023.03.14 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands as root via SOAP. Seven internal SOAP methods place client parameters into operating-system commands without sanitization before the root-running service executes them. Access to TCP port 5132 is required; the service is loopback-only on a standalone appliance but exposed to other members of a cluster.
