This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'Sophos Web Protection Appliance sblistpack Arbitrary Command Execution'. The module exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2013-4983) in the sblistpack component of Sophos Web Protection Appliance versions 3.7.9, 3.8.0, and 3.8.1. The vulnerability is accessible via the web interface at the '/end-user/index.php' endpoint, and does not require authentication. The exploit works by sending a crafted HTTP POST request to this endpoint, injecting arbitrary shell commands via the 'domain' parameter. The payload is a command (typically a reverse shell) that is executed on the target system. The module is written in Ruby and is designed to be used within the Metasploit framework. The code is operational and provides a working exploit for the specified Sophos WPA versions.
