Description

This module leverages an unauthenticated arbitrary file read for
the Argus Surveillance 4.0.0.0 system which never saw an update since.
As this is a Windows related application we recommend looking for common
Windows file locations, especially C:\ProgramData\PY_Software\Argus Surveillance DVR\DVRParams.ini
which houses another vulnerability in the Argus Surveillance system. This directory traversal vuln
is being tracked as CVE-2018-15745
