          This module exploits multiple vulnerabilities in Bolt CMS version 3.7.0
          and 3.6.* in order to execute arbitrary commands as the user running Bolt.

          This module first takes advantage of a vulnerability that allows an
          authenticated user to change the username in /bolt/profile to a PHP
          `system($_GET[""])` variable. Next, the module obtains a list of tokens
          from `/async/browse/cache/.sessions` and uses these to create files with
          the blacklisted `.php` extention via HTTP POST requests to
          `/async/folder/rename`. For each created file, the module checks the HTTP
          response for evidence that the file can be used to execute arbitrary
          commands via the created PHP $_GET variable. If the response is negative,
          the file is deleted, otherwise the payload is executed via an HTTP
          get request in this format: `/files/<rogue_PHP_file>?<$_GET_var>=<payload>`

          Valid credentials for a Bolt CMS user are required. This module has been
          successfully tested against Bolt CMS 3.7.0 running on CentOS 7.
