CVE-2017-15806: Arbitrary code execution via a crafted email address

November 15, 2017 (updated December 2, 2017)

The send function in the ezcMailMtaTransport class does not properly restrict the set of characters used in the ezcMail returnPath property, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted email address, as demonstrated by one containing “-X/path/to/wwwroot/file.php.”
