Description

This module abuses multiple issues in FreeFloat: 1. No credential is actually
needed to login; 2. User's default path is in C:\, and this cannot be changed;
3. User can write to anywhere on the server's file system. As a result of these
poor implementations, a malicious user can just log in and then upload files,
and let WMI (Management Instrumentation service) to execute the payload uploaded.
