VMware vRealize Log Insight Unauthenticated RCE

Description

VMware vRealize Log Insights versions v8.x contains multiple vulnerabilities, such as directory traversal, broken access control, deserialization, and information disclosure. When chained together, these vulnerabilities allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system as the root user. This module achieves code execution via triggering a `RemotePakDownloadCommand` command via the exposed thrift service after obtaining the node token by calling a `GetConfigRequest` thrift command. After the download, it will trigger a `PakUpgradeCommand` for processing the specially crafted PAK archive, which then will place the JSP payload under a certain API endpoint (pre-authenticated) location upon extraction for gaining remote code execution. Successfully tested against version 8.0.2.
