The question is... is there any link from the main page to:

http://target.tld/cgibin/finger?root

If there is no link that says to w3af: "the finger resource takes a
parameter with the name root", w3af will never, EVER, discover that
automagically.

On the other hand, if the link actually exists, w3af won't fuzz the
name of the parameter, w3af will fuzz the value of it. If the above
link is found, and the osCommanding plugin is enabled w3af would try
things like:

http://target.tld/cgibin/finger?root=echo abc
http://target.tld/cgibin/finger?root=ping -n 10 localhost

But will never test something like:

http://target.tld/cgibin/finger?root;echo abc=
http://target.tld/cgibin/finger?root;ping -n 10 localhost=

On a related subject, we have been talking about creating a discovery
plugin that guesses parameter names, but we haven't really developed
it.

Cheers,
