      '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.
