This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a file upload vulnerability (CVE-2012-0299) in Symantec Web Gateway 5.0.2.8. The exploit abuses the /spywall/blocked_file.php endpoint to upload a malicious PHP file without authentication, then executes it via /spywall/images/upload/temp/temp.php, resulting in arbitrary code execution. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HttpClient mixin. It includes a check method to verify the target, an exploit method to upload and execute the payload, and a cleanup routine to remove the uploaded file. The exploit is operational and allows for customizable PHP payloads, providing the attacker with remote code execution capabilities on the target system.
