Description

VMware vRealize Log Insights versions v8.x contains multiple vulnerabilities, such as
directory traversal, broken access control, deserialization, and information disclosure.
When chained together, these vulnerabilities allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to
execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system as the root user.

This module achieves code execution via triggering a `RemotePakDownloadCommand` command
via the exposed thrift service after obtaining the node token by calling a `GetConfigRequest`
thrift command. After the download, it will trigger a `PakUpgradeCommand` for processing the
specially crafted PAK archive, which then will place the JSP payload under a certain API
endpoint (pre-authenticated) location upon extraction for gaining remote code execution.

Successfully tested against version 8.0.2.
