        This module abuses a command injection on the clear_keys.pl perl script, installed with the
        Sophos Web Protection Appliance, to escalate privileges from the "spiderman" user to "root".
        This module is useful for post exploitation of vulnerabilities on the Sophos Web Protection
        Appliance web ui, executed by the "spiderman" user. This module has been tested successfully
        on Sophos Virtual Web Appliance 3.7.0.
