I've changed our web site to use a simple PHP script to send a demo request
to our sales office. We use Postfix and everything is set up properly and
works fine. I've been informed there are some security issues to review.
The script looks like:
<html>
<head><title>PHP Mail Sender</title></head>
<body>
<?php
/* Pre-defined script variables. */
/* $eol = "\r\n"; */
$eol = "\n";
$mailto = 'sales@mydomain.com';
$mailfrom = 'webserver@mydomain.com';
$subject = 'Company Demo Request';
/* Initialize a clean array to replace $_POST with clean data */
$name = $_POST['name'];
$title = $_POST['name'];
$company = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['name'];
$message = $_POST['name'];
/* Build HTML $salesmessage variable to pass to mail script */
$salesmessage = "<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>" . $eol;
$salesmessage .= "The following information comes from the company web
site<BR>".$eol;
$salesmessage .= "demonstration link.<BR><BR>".$eol;
$salesmessage .= "<TABLE cols='2'>".$eol;
$salesmessage .= "<TR><TD style='color:blue'>Company Name: </TD><TD>".
$company ."</TD></TR>".$eol;
$salesmessage .= "<TR><TD style='color:blue'>Contact Name: </TD><TD>".
$name ."</TD></TR>".$eol;
$salesmessage .= "<TR><TD style='color:blue'>Contact Title: </TD><TD>".
$title ."</TD></TR>".$eol;
$salesmessage .= "<TR><TD style='color:blue'>Contact Email: </TD><TD>".
$email ."</TD></TR>".$eol;
$salesmessage .= "<TR><TD style='color:blue'>Contact Phone: </TD><TD>".
$phone ."</TD></TR>".$eol;
$salesmessage .= "</TABLE><BR>" . $eol;
$salesmessage .= $message . $eol;
$salesmessage .= "</BODY></HTML>" . $eol;
/* To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set */
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . $eol;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . $eol;
/* Additional header information */
$headers .= 'To: Sales <' . $mailto . '>' . $eol;
$headers .= 'From: ' . 'AsiWeb <' . $mailfrom . '>' . $eol . $eol;
/* PHP form validation: the script checks that the Email field contains a
valid email address
and the Subject field isn't empty. preg_match performs a regular
expression match. It's a
very powerful PHP function to validate form fields and other strings -
see PHP manual for
details. */
if ($email == "") {
echo "<script>alert('Invalid or missing email address')</script>";
echo "<script>history.back(1)</script>";
} elseif ($name == "") {
echo "<script>alert('Invalid or missing name')</script>";
echo "<script>history.back(1)</script>";
} elseif ($company == "") {
echo "<script>alert('Invalid or missing company')</script>";
echo "<script>history.back(1)</script>";
/* Sends the mail and outputs the "Thank you" string if the mail is
successfully sent, or the
error string otherwise. */
} elseif (mail($mailto, $subject, $salesmessage, $headers)) {
echo "<script>";
echo "self.location='../demo_response.html';";
echo "</script>";
} else {
echo "<script>alert('Cannot send email to $mailto')</script>";
echo "<script>history.back(1)</script>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
The main issue I'm wondering about is if I control the to and from address
and header information for the mail, as I do above, is it possible to inject
something else into the email to hijack the mail server?
Thanks,
Bill
