Description

This module leverages an unauthenticated server-side template injection vulnerability in CrushFTP authentication. When attacker payloads are reflected in the server's responses, the payloads are evaluated. The
primary impact of the injection is arbitrary file read as root, which can result in authentication bypass, remote
code execution, and NetNTLMv2 theft (when the host OS is Windows and SMB egress traffic is permitted).
