Google Appliance ProxyStyleSheet Command Execution
Description
This module exploits a feature in the Saxon XSLT parser used by the Google Search Appliance. This feature allows for arbitrary java methods to be called. Google released a patch and advisory to their client base in August of 2005 (GA-2005-08-m). The target appliance must be able to connect back to your machine for this exploit to work.

- 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.
