         This module exploits two vulnerabilities in Nagios XI 5.5.6:
         CVE-2018-15708 which allows for unauthenticated remote code execution
         and CVE 201815710 which allows for local privilege escalation.
         When combined, these two vulnerabilities give us a root reverse shell.
