          This module exploits a path traversal and a Java class instantiation
          in the handle implementation of WebLogic's Administration Console to
          execute code as the WebLogic user.

          Versions 10.3.6.0.0, 12.1.3.0.0, 12.2.1.3.0, 12.2.1.4.0, and
          14.1.1.0.0 are known to be affected.

          Tested against 12.2.1.3.0 from Vulhub (Linux) and on Windows.

          Warning! Multiple sessions may be created by exploiting this vuln.
