CVE-2014-1203
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe get_login_ip_config_file function in Eyou Mail System before 3.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the domain parameter to admin/domain/ip_login_set/d_ip_login_get.php.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceCommand injection vulnerability in Eyou Mail System before version 3.6 where the get_login_ip_config_file function in admin/domain/ip_login_set/d_ip_login_get.php fails to sanitize the domain parameter before passing it to a system call, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands via shell metacharacters.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Eyou Mail System installationLocate the Eyou Mail System installation directory on the server by checking common web root paths or reviewing web server configuration files (httpd.conf, nginx.conf) for the document root.Affected if Eyou Mail System is installed on the server.
-
Determine installed versionCheck for a version file or banner within the Eyou installation directory. Common locations include a version.php file, a config file, or the main index page header.Affected if The installed version is lower than 3.6.
-
Verify vulnerable script existsCheck if the file admin/domain/ip_login_set/d_ip_login_get.php exists within the Eyou installation directory.Affected if The vulnerable PHP script file is present in the expected path.
-
Confirm admin interface is reachableVerify network accessibility of the /admin/ path or admin interface URL for the Eyou Mail System installation.Affected if The admin interface is accessible via network (authenticated or unauthenticated).
-
Inspect the vulnerable parameter handlingExamine the get_login_ip_config_file function in the identified PHP file to confirm it processes a domain parameter without sanitization before system calls.Affected if The code passes the domain parameter directly to a system call without input validation.
A user is affected if Eyou Mail System version is below 3.6, the vulnerable PHP script exists, and the admin interface is network-accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.6
Upgrade to Eyou Mail System 3.6 or later to obtain the patched version. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, implement strict input validation on the domain parameter to reject shell metacharacters and restrict network access to the admin interface.
Eyou Mail System 3.6
- 1. Verify current Eyou Mail System version by checking the web interface or system files
- 2. If version is below 3.6, plan for upgrade to version 3.6 or later
- 3. Before upgrading, perform a complete backup of the Eyou Mail System database, configuration files, and邮件数据
- 4. Review Eyou Mail System 3.6 release notes for any migration requirements
- 5. Execute upgrade to Eyou Mail System version 3.6 or latest stable release
- 6. After upgrade, verify the admin/domain/ip_login_set/d_ip_login_get.php file has been updated
- 7. Test that the ip_login_set functionality works correctly post-upgrade
- 8. Validate that shell metacharacters in domain parameters are now properly sanitized
