Description

This module exploits an information disclosure vulnerability
in ZPanel. The vulnerability is due to a vulnerable version
of pChart used by ZPanel that allows unauthenticated users to read
arbitrary files remotely on the file system. This particular module
utilizes this vulnerability to identify the username/password
combination of the MySQL instance. With the
credentials the attackers can login to PHPMyAdmin and execute
SQL commands to drop a malicious payload on the filesystem and
call it leading to remote code execution.
