Description

This module exploits a code execution flaw in VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager,
where the ImageUploadServlet servlet allows unauthenticated file upload. The files
are uploaded to the /cbmui/images/ web path, where JSP code execution is allowed.
The module has been tested successfully on VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager 2.0.1
on Windows 2003 SP2.
