Description

This module can be used to execute a payload on Lucee servers that have an exposed
administrative web interface. It's possible for an administrator to create a
scheduled job that queries a remote ColdFusion file, which is then downloaded and executed
when accessed. The payload is uploaded as a cfm file when queried by the target server. When executed,
the payload will run as the user specified during the Lucee installation. On Windows, this is a service account;
on Linux, it is either the root user or lucee.
