Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in PHP Volunteer Management System,
version v1.0.2 or prior. This application has an upload feature that allows an
authenticated user to upload anything to the 'uploads' directory, which is actually
reachable by anyone without a credential. An attacker can easily abuse this upload
functionality first by logging in with the default credential (admin:volunteer),
upload a malicious payload, and then execute it by sending another GET request.
