This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/symantec_messaging_gateway_exec.rb) targeting a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2017-6326) in Symantec Messaging Gateway version 10.6.2-7. The exploit requires valid credentials for the web interface and leverages the backupNow.do endpoint, which is vulnerable to command injection due to insufficient input validation. The attacker must provide their own SSH service details, as the exploit abuses the remote backup functionality to inject a payload. The payload is a Python Meterpreter reverse shell, delivered via a Perl wrapper to bypass input restrictions. The exploit achieves remote code execution as root. The module is written in Ruby and is designed for use within the Metasploit framework. The main endpoints involved are the login, CSRF token retrieval, and backup execution endpoints under the /brightmail/ path.
