Vulnerabilities Details
Authentication Remote Code Execution
Horde Webmail contains a vulnerability that allows a remote attacker
to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user who runs the
web server.
For successful attack GnuPG feature should be enabled on the target
server (path to gpg binary should be defined in $conf[gnupg][path]
setting).
Vulnerable code: encryptMessage() function of GPG feature.
Path: /Horde/Crypt/Pgp/Backend/Binary.php:
/* 416 */ public function encryptMessage($text, $params)
/* 417 */ {
/* … */
/* 435 */ foreach (array_keys($params['recips']) as $val) {
/* 436 */ $cmdline[] = '--recipient ' . $val;
#! vulnerable code
/* … */
/* 444 */ /* Encrypt the document. */
/* 445 */ $result = $this->_callGpg(
/* 446 */ $cmdline,
/* 447 */ 'w',
/* 448 */ empty($params['symmetric']) ? null : $params['passphrase'],
/* 449 */ true,
/* 450 */ true
/* 451 */ );
$params[‘recips’] will be added to $cmdline array and passed to _callGpg():
Path: /Horde/Crypt/Pgp/Backend/Binary.php:
/* 642 */ public function _callGpg(
/* 643 */ $options, $mode, $input = array(), $output = false, $stderr = false,
/* 644 */ $parseable = false, $verbose = false
/* 645 */ )
/* 646 */ {
/* … */
/* 675 */ $cmdline = implode(' ', array_merge($this->_gnupg, $options));
/* … */
/* 681 */ if ($mode == 'w') {
/* 682 */ if ($fp = popen($cmdline, 'w')) {#!
vulnerable code
/* … */
We can see that our recipients (addresses) will be in command line
that is going to be executed. encryptMessage() function can be reached
by various API, requests. For example it will be called when user try
to send encrypted message.
Our request for encryption and sending our message will be processed
by buildAndSendMessage() method:
Path: /imp/lib/Compose.php
/* 733 */ public function buildAndSendMessage(
/* 734 */ $body, $header, IMP_Prefs_Identity $identity, array $opts = array()
/* 735 */ )
/* 736 */ {
/* 737 */ global $conf, $injector, $notification, $prefs, $registry, $session;
/* 738 */
/* 739 */ /* We need at least one recipient & RFC 2822 requires that no 8-bit
/* 740 */ * characters can be in the address fields. */
/* 741 */ $recip = $this->recipientList($header);
/* ... */
/* 793 */ /* Must encrypt & send the message one recipient at a time. */
/* 794 */ if ($prefs->getValue('use_smime') &&
/* 795 */ in_array($encrypt, array(IMP_Crypt_Smime::ENCRYPT,
IMP_Crypt_Smime::SIGNENC))) {
/* ... */
/* 807 */ } else {
/* 808 */ /* Can send in clear-text all at once, or PGP can encrypt
/* 809 */ * multiple addresses in the same message. */
/* 810 */ $msg_options['from'] = $from;
/* 811 */ $save_msg = $this->_createMimeMessage($recip['list'], $body,
$msg_options);#! vulnerable code
In line 741 it tries to create recipient list: Horde parsers values of
‘to’, ‘cc’, ‘bcc’ headers and creates list of Rfc822 addresses. In
general there are restrictions for characters in addresses but if we
will use the next format:
display-name <"somemailbox"@somedomain.com>
somemailbox will be parsed by _rfc822ParseQuotedString() method:
Path: /Horde/Mail/Rfc822.php:
/* 557 */ protected function _rfc822ParseQuotedString(&$str)
/* 558 */ {
/* 559 */ if ($this->_curr(true) != '"') {
/* 560 */ throw new Horde_Mail_Exception('Error when parsing a quoted string.');
/* 561 */ }
/* 563 */ while (($chr = $this->_curr(true)) !== false) {
/* 564 */ switch ($chr) {
/* 565 */ case '"':
/* 566 */ $this->_rfc822SkipLwsp();
/* 567 */ return;
/* 569 */ case "\n":
/* 570 */ /* Folding whitespace, remove the (CR)LF. */
/* 571 */ if (substr($str, -1) == "\r") {
/* 572 */ $str = substr($str, 0, -1);
/* 573 */ }
/* 574 */ continue;
/* 576 */ case '\\':
/* 577 */ if (($chr = $this->_curr(true)) === false) {
/* 578 */ break 2;
/* 579 */ }
/* 580 */ break;
/* 581 */ }
/* 583 */ $str .= $chr;
/* 584 */ }
/* 586 */ /* Missing trailing '"', or partial quoted character. */
/* 587 */ throw new Horde_Mail_Exception('Error when parsing a quoted string.');
/* 588 */ }
There are only a few limitations:
we cannot use “
\n will be deleted
we cannot use \ at the end of our mailbox
After creation of recipient list buildAndSendMessage() will call
_createMimeMessage():
Path: /imp/lib/Compose.php
/* 1446 */ protected function _createMimeMessage(
/* 1447 */ Horde_Mail_Rfc822_List $to, $body, array $options = array()
/* 1448 */ )
/* 1449 */ {
/* 1450 */ global $conf, $injector, $prefs, $registry;
/* ... */
/* 1691 */ /* Set up the base message now. */
/* 1692 */ $encrypt = empty($options['encrypt'])
/* 1693 */ ? IMP::ENCRYPT_NONE
/* 1694 */ : $options['encrypt'];
/* 1695 */ if ($prefs->getValue('use_pgp') &&
/* 1696 */ !empty($conf['gnupg']['path']) &&
/* 1697 */ in_array($encrypt, array(IMP_Crypt_Pgp::ENCRYPT,
IMP_Crypt_Pgp::SIGN, IMP_Crypt_Pgp::SIGNENC,
IMP_Crypt_Pgp::SYM_ENCRYPT, IMP_Crypt_Pgp::SYM_SIGNENC))) {
/* 1698 */ $imp_pgp = $injector->getInstance('IMP_Crypt_Pgp');
/* ... */
/* 1727 */ /* Do the encryption/signing requested. */
/* 1728 */ try {
/* 1729 */ switch ($encrypt) {
/* ... */
/* 1735 */ case IMP_Crypt_Pgp::ENCRYPT:
/* 1736 */ case IMP_Crypt_Pgp::SYM_ENCRYPT:
/* 1737 */ $to_list = clone $to;
/* 1738 */ if (count($options['from'])) {
/* 1739 */ $to_list->add($options['from']);
/* 1740 */ }
/* 1741 */ $base = $imp_pgp->IMPencryptMIMEPart($base, $to_list,
($encrypt == IMP_Crypt_Pgp::SYM_ENCRYPT) ?
$symmetric_passphrase : null);
/* 1742 */ break;
Here we can see validation (1695-1696 lines) that:
Current user has enabled “use_pgp” feature in his preferences (it is
not a problem as an attacker can edit his own preferences)
$conf[‘gnupg’][‘path’] is not empty. This value can be edited only by
admin. So if we don’t have value here our server is not vulnerable.
But if admin wants to allow users to use GPG feature he/she needs to
define value for this config.
Also we can see that in lines 1737-1739 to our recipient list will be
added address “from” as well.
Path: /imp/lib/Crypt/Pgp.php
/* 584 */ public function impEncryptMimePart($mime_part,
/* 585 */ Horde_Mail_Rfc822_List $addresses,
/* 586 */ $symmetric = null)
/* 587 */ {
/* 588 */ return $this->encryptMimePart($mime_part,
$this->_encryptParameters($addresses, $symmetric));
/* 589 */ }
Before encryptMimePart() call Horde uses _encryptParameters()
Path: /imp/lib/Crypt/Pgp.php
/* 536 */ protected function _encryptParameters(Horde_Mail_Rfc822_List
$addresses,
/* 537 */ $symmetric)
/* 538 */ {
/* ... */
/* 546 */ $addr_list = array();
/* 548 */ foreach ($addresses as $val) {
/* 549 */ /* Get the public key for the address. */
/* 550 */ $bare_addr = $val->bare_address;
/* 551 */ $addr_list[$bare_addr] = $this->getPublicKey($bare_addr);
/* 552 */ }
/* 554 */ return array('recips' => $addr_list);
/* 555 */ }
Horde will add to each address its Public Key. There a few source of
Public Keys:
AddressBook (we will use this source)
Servers with Public Keys
Note that Horde should be able to find Public Key for our “From”
address as well.
We can generate pair of PGP keys (https is required) or we can use the
same trick with AddressBook (we can create some contact, add any valid
Public PGP key, and add this address to default identity)
encryptMimePart() will call encrypt() method
Path: /Horde/Crypt/Pgp.php
/* 773 */ public function encryptMIMEPart($mime_part, $params = array())
/* 774 */ {
/* 775 */ $params = array_merge($params, array('type' => 'message'));
/* … */
/* 781 */ $message_encrypt = $this->encrypt($signenc_body, $params);
It will call encryptMessage()
Path: /Horde/Crypt/Pgp.php
/* 554 */ public function encrypt($text, $params = array())
/* 555 */ {
/* 556 */ switch (isset($params['type']) ? $params['type'] : false) {
/* 557 */ case 'message':
/* 558 */ $error = Horde_Crypt_Translation::t(
/* 559 */ "Could not PGP encrypt message."
/* 560 */ );
/* 561 */ $func = 'encryptMessage';
/* 562 */ break;
/* ... */
/* 586 */ $this->_initDrivers();
/* 587 */
/* 588 */ foreach ($this->_backends as $val) {
/* 589 */ try {
/* 590 */ return $val->$func($text, $params);
/* 591 */ } catch (Horde_Crypt_Exception $e) {}
/* 592 */ }
In conclusions:
If Horde server has enabled “GnuPG feature” any unprivileged user is
able to execute arbitrary code.
Enable GPG feature for attacker account (“Enable PGP functionality?”
checkbox on “PGP Configure PGP encryption support.” section in
Prefferences->Mail page )
Create some contact in the attacker AddressBook, add any valid Public
PGP key, and add this address to default identity
Create another contact in the attacker AddressBook, add any valid
Public PGP key, and change email address to some$(desired command to
execute) contact@somedomain.com
Create a new message to some$(desired command to execute) contact@somedomain.com
Choose Encryption:PGP Encrypt Message option
Click Send button
And desired command will be executed on the Horde server.
Proof of Concept – Authenticated Code Execution
For Proof of Concept we can use preconfigured image of Horde server
from Bitnami (Bitnami – “Easy to use cloud images, containers, and VMs
that work on any platform”):
https://downloads.bitnami.com/files/stacks/horde/5.2.17-0/bitnami-horde-5.2.17-0-linux-ubuntu-14.04-x86_64.ova
Step 1 – Login as admin (by default user:bitnami) and go to
Administration -> Configuration and choose Horde (horde). Open GnuPG
tab, enter /usr/bin/gpg into $conf[gnupg][path] setting and click
“Generate Horde Configuration“:
Now we have enabled GPG feature on our server and we can login as
regular user and try to execute desired commands. But Bitnami image
does not have installed and configured Mail server so we need to use
external one or install it on local machine.
We will use gmail account (to be able to login to it from Horde I had
to change Gmail account setting Allow less secure apps: ON).
To use external Mail server we need to change the next setting:
“Administrator Panel” -> “Configuration” -> “Horde” ->
“Authentication”
Step 2 – Configure Horde web-mail authentication ($conf[auth][driver])
to “Let a Horde application handle authentication” and click “Generate
Horde Configuration”:
Step 3 – logout and login with your gmail account. Currently we are
login as regular user so we can try to execute desired commands:
Go to Preferences -> Mail and click on PGP link. Check Enable PGP
functionality? checkbox and click “Save”:
Create “from” contact in our AddressBook: “Address Book -> New Contact
-> in Address Book of …”
Personal tab – Last Name: mymailboxwithPGPkey
Communication tab – Email: mymailboxwihPGP@any.com
Other tab – PGP Public Key: any valid Public PGP key.

Unauthentication Remote Code Execution
Horde Webmail contains a vulnerability that allows a remote attacker
to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user who runs the
web server.
Vulnerable code: decryptSignature() function of GPG feature.
Path: /Horde/Crypt/Pgp/Backend/Binary.php:
/* 539 */ public function decryptSignature($text, $params)
/* 540 */ {
/* ... */
/* 550 */ /* Options for the GPG binary. */
/* 551 */ $cmdline = array(
/* 552 */ '--armor',
/* 553 */ '--always-trust',
/* 554 */ '--batch',
/* 555 */ '--charset ' . (isset($params['charset']) ?
$params['charset'] : 'UTF-8'),
/* 556 */ $keyring,
/* 557 */ '--verify'
/* 558 */ );
/* ... */
/* 571 */ $result = $this->_callGpg($cmdline, 'r', null, true, true, true);
/* ... */
$params[‘charset’] will be added to $cmdline array and passed to _callGpg():
/* 642 */ public function _callGpg(
/* 643 */ $options, $mode, $input = array(), $output = false, $stderr = false,
/* 644 */ $parseable = false, $verbose = false
/* 645 */ )
/* 646 */ {
/* … */
/* 675 */ $cmdline = implode(' ', array_merge($this->_gnupg, $options));
/* … */
/* 681 */ if ($mode == 'w') {
/* … */
/* 704 */ } elseif ($mode == 'r') {
/* 705 */ if ($fp = popen($cmdline, 'r')) {
/* … */
Our $params[‘charset’] will be in command line that is going to be executed.
decryptSignature() is called from decrypt() method:
Path – /Horde/Crypt/Pgp.php:
/* 611 */ public function decrypt($text, $params = array())
/* 612 */ {
/* 613 */ switch (isset($params['type']) ? $params['type'] : false) {
/* 614 */ case 'detached-signature':
/* 615 */ case 'signature':
/* 616 */ /* Check for required parameters. */
/* 617 */ if (!isset($params['pubkey'])) {
/* 618 */ throw new InvalidArgumentException(
/* 619 */ 'A public PGP key is required to verify a signed message.'
/* 620 */ );
/* 621 */ }
/* 622 */ if (($params['type'] === 'detached-signature') &&
/* 623 */ !isset($params['signature'])) {
/* 624 */ throw new InvalidArgumentException(
/* 625 */ 'The detached PGP signature block is required to verify the
signed message.'
/* 626 */ );
/* 627 */ }
/* 628 */
/* 629 */ $func = 'decryptSignature';
/* 630 */ break;
/* ... */
/* 650 */ $this->_initDrivers();
/* 651 */
/* 652 */ foreach ($this->_backends as $val) {
/* 653 */ try {
/* 654 */ return $val->$func($text, $params);
/* 655 */ } catch (Horde_Crypt_Exception $e) {}
/* 656 */ }
/* ... */
decrypt() with needed parameters is used in verifySignature():
Path – /imp/lib/Crypt/Pgp.php
/* 339 */ public function verifySignature($text, $address, $signature = '',
/* 340 */ $charset = null)
/* 341 */ {
/* 342 */ if (!empty($signature)) {
/* 343 */ $packet_info = $this->pgpPacketInformation($signature);
/* 344 */ if (isset($packet_info['keyid'])) {
/* 345 */ $keyid = $packet_info['keyid'];
/* 346 */ }
/* 347 */ }
/* 349 */ if (!isset($keyid)) {
/* 350 */ $keyid = $this->getSignersKeyID($text);
/* 351 */ }
/* 353 */ /* Get key ID of key. */
/* 354 */ $public_key = $this->getPublicKey($address, array('keyid' => $keyid));
/* 356 */ if (empty($signature)) {
/* 357 */ $options = array('type' => 'signature');
/* 358 */ } else {
/* 359 */ $options = array('type' => 'detached-signature', 'signature'
=> $signature);
/* 360 */ }
/* 361 */ $options['pubkey'] = $public_key;
/* 363 */ if (!empty($charset)) {
/* 364 */ $options['charset'] = $charset;
/* 365 */ }
/* 369 */ return $this->decrypt($text, $options);
/* 370 */ }
verifySignature() is called from _outputPGPSigned():
Path – /imp/lib/Mime/Viewer/Pgp.php
/* 387 */ protected function _outputPGPSigned()
/* 388 */ {
/* 389 */ global $conf, $injector, $prefs, $registry, $session;
/* 390 */
/* 391 */ $partlist = array_keys($this->_mimepart->contentTypeMap());
/* 392 */ $base_id = reset($partlist);
/* 393 */ $signed_id = next($partlist);
/* 394 */ $sig_id = Horde_Mime::mimeIdArithmetic($signed_id, 'next');
/* 395 */
/* 396 */ if (!$prefs->getValue('use_pgp') || empty($conf['gnupg']['path'])) {
/* 397 */ return array(
/* 398 */ $sig_id => null
/* 399 */ );
/* 400 */ }
/* ... */
/* 417 */ if ($prefs->getValue('pgp_verify') ||
/* 418 */ $injector->getInstance('Horde_Variables')->pgp_verify_msg) {
/* 419 */ $imp_contents = $this->getConfigParam('imp_contents');
/* 420 */ $sig_part = $imp_contents->getMIMEPart($sig_id);
/* ... */
/* 433 */ try {
/* 434 */ $imp_pgp = $injector->getInstance('IMP_Crypt_Pgp');
/* 435 */ if ($sig_raw =
$sig_part->getMetadata(Horde_Crypt_Pgp_Parse::SIG_RAW)) {
/* 436 */ $sig_result = $imp_pgp->verifySignature($sig_raw,
$this->_getSender()->bare_address, null, $sig_part-
> getMetadata(Horde_Crypt_Pgp_Parse::SIG_CHARSET));
/* ... */
And it is used in _renderInline():
Path – /imp/lib/Mime/Viewer/Pgp.php
/* 134 */ protected function _renderInline()
/* 135 */ {
/* 136 */ $id = $this->_mimepart->getMimeId();
/* 138 */ switch ($this->_mimepart->getType()) {
/* ... */
/* 142 */ case 'multipart/signed':
/* 143 */ return $this->_outputPGPSigned();
Let’s go back to _outputPGPSigned() method. We can see a few
requirements before the needed call:
$conf[‘gnupg’][‘path’] should be not empty. This value can be edited
only by admin(if he/she wants to allow users to use GPG feature he/she
needs to define value for this config).
Current user has enabled “use_pgp” feature in his preferences
Current user has enabled “pgp_verify” feature in his preferences
Current user has enabled “pgp_verify” feature in his preferences
Also we see that our charset value is taken from $sig_part ->
getMetadata(Horde_Crypt_Pgp_Parse::SIG_CHARSET)
Our value will be stored during parsing of PGP parts:
Path – /Horde/Crypt/Pgp/Parse.php
/* 150 */ public function parseToPart($text, $charset = 'UTF-8')
/* 151 */ {
/* 152 */ $parts = $this->parse($text);
/* ... */
/* 162 */ while (list(,$val) = each($parts)) {
/* 163 */ switch ($val['type']) {
/* ... */
/* 200 */ case self::ARMOR_SIGNED_MESSAGE:
/* 201 */ if ((list(,$sig) = each($parts)) &&
/* 202 */ ($sig['type'] == self::ARMOR_SIGNATURE)) {
/* 203 */ $part = new Horde_Mime_Part();
/* 204 */ $part->setType('multipart/signed');
/* 205 */ // TODO: add micalg parameter
/* 206 */ $part->setContentTypeParameter('protocol',
'application/pgp-signature');
/* 207 */
/* 208 */ $part1 = new Horde_Mime_Part();
/* 209 */ $part1->setType('text/plain');
/* 210 */ $part1->setCharset($charset);
/* 211 */
/* 212 */ $part1_data = implode("\n", $val['data']);
/* 213 */ $part1->setContents(substr($part1_data, strpos($part1_data,
"\n\n") + 2));
/* 214 */
/* 215 */ $part2 = new Horde_Mime_Part();

It is called from _parsePGP():

/* 241 */ $part =
$GLOBALS['injector']->getInstance('Horde_Crypt_Pgp_Parse')->parseToPart(
/* 242 */ new Horde_Stream_Existing(array(
/* 243 */ 'stream' => $this->_mimepart->getContents(array('stream' => true))
/* 244 */ )),
/* 245 */ $this->_mimepart->getCharset()
/* 246 */ );
Our charset value is taken from CHARSET attribute of Content-Type
header of parent MIMEpart.
_parsePGP() is used in _getEmbeddedMimeParts() method and from Horde
Webmail ver 5.2.0 it looks like:
Path – /imp/lib/Mime/Viewer/Plain.php
/* 222 */ protected function _getEmbeddedMimeParts()
/* 223 */ {
/* 224 */ $ret = $this->getConfigParam('pgp_inline')
/* 225 */ ? $this->_parsePGP()
/* 226 */ : null;
We can see an additional requirement – our function will be called
only if ‘pgp_inline‘ config parameter is “true”. It is defined in:
Path – /imp/config/mime_drivers.php
/* 37 */ /* Scans the text for inline PGP data. If true, will strip this data
/* 38 */ * out of the output (and, if PGP is active, will display the
/* 39 */ * results of the PGP action). */
/* 40 */ 'pgp_inline' => false
Default value is false, so the major part of Horde servers is not
vulnerable and our attack is relevant only if an admin manually has
changed this line to ‘pgp_inline‘ => true.
But in older versions (before 5.2.0) the code of
_getEmbeddedMimeParts() is a bit different:
Path – /imp/lib/Mime/Viewer/Plain.php
/* 227 */ protected function _getEmbeddedMimeParts()
/* 228 */ {
/* 229 */ $ret = null;
/* 230 */
/* 231 */ if (!empty($GLOBALS['conf']['gnupg']['path']) &&
/* 232 */ $GLOBALS['prefs']->getValue('pgp_scan_body')) {
/* 233 */ $ret = $this->_parsePGP();
/* 234 */ }
So instead of requirement to have config parameter we have requirement
of ‘pgp_scan_body‘ Preference of current user. And it is more likely
to find a victim with needed preferences. We saw where our injected
command is executed and from where and when it is taken

In conclusions:
If Horde server has vulnerable configuration:
Enabled “GnuPG feature” (there is path to gpg binary in
$conf[gnupg][path] setting)
Only for ver 5.2.0 and newer: ‘pgp_inline’ => true, in
/imp/config/mime_drivers.php
And the victim has checked the next checkbox in his/her preferences (
“PGP Configure PGP encryption support.” in Prefferences->Mail) :
“Enable PGP functionality”
“Should PGP signed messages be automatically verified when viewed?” if
it is not checked our command will be executed when the victim clicks
on the link “Click HERE to verify the message.”
For versions before 5.2.0: “Should the body of plaintext message be
scanned for PGP data”
An attacker can create email with PGP data, put desired command into
CHARSET attribute of ContentType header, and this command will be
executed on Horde server when the victim opens this email.
Proof of Concept – Remote Code Execution
For Proof of Concept we can use preconfigured image of Horde server
from Bitnami (Bitnami – “Easy to use cloud images, containers, and VMs
that work on any platform”):
https://downloads.bitnami.com/files/stacks/horde/5.2.17-0/bitnami-horde-5.2.17-0-linux-ubuntu-14.04-x86_64.ova
Step 1 – Login as admin (by default user:bitnami) and go to
Administration -> Configuration and choose Horde (horde). Open GnuPG
tab, enter /usr/bin/gpg into $conf[gnupg][path] setting and click
“Generate Horde Configuration“:
Now we have enabled GPG feature on our server and we can login as
regular user and try to execute desired commands. But Bitnami image
does not have installed and configured Mail server so we need to use
external one or install it on local machine.
We will use gmail account (to be able to login to it from Horde I had
to change Gmail account setting Allow less secure apps: ON).
To use external Mail server we need to change the next setting:
“Administrator Panel” -> “Configuration” -> “Horde” ->
“Authentication”
Configure the application authentication ($conf[auth][driver]) –
change this option to “Let a Horde application handle authentication”
and click “Generate Horde Configuration”.
If we have Horde Webmail ver 5.2.0 or newer we need to edit
/imp/config/mime_drivers.php file. Login to the console of bitnami
image (default bitnami:bitnami) and run the next command:
sudo nano /opt/bitnami/apps/horde/htdocs/imp/config/mime_drivers.php
Change the line: “‘pgp_inline’ => false” to “‘pgp_inline’ => true” and
save the changes.
Step 2 – Logout and login with your gmail account.
Step 3 – Go to Preferences -> Mail and click on PGP link:
Check Enable PGP functionality checkbox and click “Save”
Check Should PGP signed messages be automatically verified when viewed checkbox
For versions before 5.2.0 check “Should the body of plain-text message
be scanned for PGP data” checkbox Click “Save”
For version before 5.2.0:
Step 4 – Go to the Mail, take any mail folder (for example Drafts),
and chose “Import” item from context menu and import attack_whoami.eml
file (in the end of this blog).
Click on the imported email:
Our Horde serve is launched under daemon user
Step 5 – We can do the same with attack_touch.eml (in the end of this
blog) file (import it and click on the new mail) and check /tmp
folder:
