Description

This module exploits an unauthenticated configuration change combined
with an unauthenticated file write primitive, leading to an arbitrary
file write that allows for remote code execution as the user running
iView, which is typically NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

This issue was demonstrated in the vulnerable version 5.7.02.5992 and
fixed in version 5.7.03.6112.
