This module will download a file of your choice against Symantec Messaging Gateway. This is possible by exploiting a directory traversal vulnerability when handling the 'logFile' parameter, which will load an arbitrary file as an attachment. Note that authentication is required in order to successfully download your file.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use auxiliary/scanner/http/symantec_brightmail_logfile
msf auxiliary(symantec_brightmail_logfile) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(symantec_brightmail_logfile) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(symantec_brightmail_logfile) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(symantec_brightmail_logfile) > run
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
