Impact

The POC demonstrates working exploint. In the exploit function the script 'determines' if the server is vulnerable based on the response. Specifically in determining if the vulnerability exists, the script sends a request with some calculated "Range" value, based on the response content. More specifically, it tries to get the byte range from 623 bytes after the full content until the last (very high number) bytes.
