This Metasploit module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2019-19781) within Citrix ADC (NetScaler). It requests the smb.conf file located in the /vpns/cfg directory by issuing the request /vpn/../vpns/cfg/smb.conf. It then checks if the server is vulnerable by looking for the presence of a "[global]" directive in smb.conf, which this file should always contain.
