Vulnerability Description:  
  
==============================  
  
An unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability was discovered in  
Visualware MyConnection Server 11.0 through 11.0b build 5382. The web  
endpoint at "https://example.com/myspeed/sf" provides an unauthenticated  
user the ability to upload an arbitrary file to an arbitrary location via a  
specially crafted POST request. This application is written in Java and is  
thus cross-platform. The Windows installation executes the web server as  
SYSTEM which means that exploitation provides Administrator privileges on  
the target system.
