Description

This module exploits two NoSQLi vulnerabilities to retrieve the user list,
and password reset tokens from the system. Next, the USER is targetted to
reset their password.
Then a command injection vulnerability is used to execute the payload.
While it is possible to upload a payload and execute it, the command injection
provides a no disk write method which is more stealthy.
Cockpit CMS 0.10.0 - 0.11.1, inclusive, contain all the necessary vulnerabilities
for exploitation.
