Symantec Web Gateway 5.0.2.8 relfile File Inclusion Vulnerability
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability found in Symantec Web Gateway's HTTP service. By injecting PHP code in the access log, it is possible to load it with a directory traversal flaw, which allows remote code execution under the context of 'apache'. Please note that it may take up to several minutes to retrieve access_log, which is about the amount of time required to see a shell back.

- 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.
