Description

This module will download a file of your choice against Symantec Messaging
Gateway. This is possible by exploiting a directory traversal vulnerability
when handling the 'logFile' parameter, which will load an arbitrary file as
an attachment. Note that authentication is required in order to successfully
download your file.
