[Mailman-Developers] Share list passwords with a php script: a possible solution

Greetings, I'm here again to share my solution with the list

I solved my fuss with the following perl-suid script:

-------------- code snippet --------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl

$ENV{PATH} = '';

if ($ARGV[0] =~ /(\w{1}\w*)/) { $list = $1; } else { nok(); }

if ($ARGV[1] =~ /(\w{1}[\w-.]*)\@([\w-.]+)/) { $email = "$1\@$2"; } else { nok(); }

$pass = $ARGV[2];

$o = /usr/local/mailman/bin/withlist -q -r getmemberpw $list $email; chomp($o);

if ($pass eq $o) { print "OK\n"; } else { nok(); }

sub nok() { print "NOK"; exit(); }

Cleaning up the eventual taint on the arguments, I call this script with exec() function in PHP, getting the output as a return code. The script is setuid to mailman.

Thanks for your attention
