WebNMS Framework Server Arbitrary File Upload

Description

This module abuses a vulnerability in WebNMS Framework Server 5.2 that allows an
unauthenticated user to upload text files by using a directory traversal attack
on the FileUploadServlet servlet. A JSP file can be uploaded that then drops and
executes a malicious payload, achieving code execution under the user which the
WebNMS server is running.
This module has been tested with WebNMS Framework Server 5.2 and 5.2 SP1 on
Windows and Linux.
