Symantec Web Gateway 5.0.2.18 pbcontrol.php Command Injection
Description
This module exploits a command injection vulnerability found in Symantec Web Gateway's HTTP service. While handling the filename parameter, the Spywall API does not do any filtering before passing it to an exec() call in proxy_file(), thus results in remote code execution under the context of the web server. Please note authentication is NOT needed to gain access.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
