FusionPBX Operator Panel exec.php Command Execution

Description

This module exploits an authenticated command injection vulnerability
in FusionPBX versions 4.4.3 and prior.

The `exec.php` file within the Operator Panel permits users with
`operator_panel_view` permissions, or administrator permissions,
to execute arbitrary commands as the web server user by sending
a `system` command to the FreeSWITCH event socket interface.

This module has been tested successfully on FusionPBX version
4.4.1 on Ubuntu 19.04 (x64).
