Sophos Web Appliance 4.3.10.4 – Pre-auth command injection

The script is an exploit for the Sophos Web Appliance version 4.3.10.4 and older that allows for pre-auth command injection. It uses the curl command to send a request to the target URL with a payload that includes a command injection. The exploit then checks if the command injection was successful by checking for a response from a specific domain. If the response is found, the script outputs 'YES' to a file.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to version 4.3.10.4 or newer.
