        This module exploits a vulnerability found in Mako Server v2.5.
        It's possible to inject arbitrary OS commands in the Mako Server
        tutorial page through a PUT request to save.lsp.

        Attacker input will be saved on the victims machine and can
        be executed by sending a GET request to manage.lsp.
