+## Vulnerable Application
+
+LG Simple Editor is recommended for small businesses and sports bars which require simple content
+display or play-on-air via their signage. It enables easy new content creation by simplifying processes,
+and immediate playback on signage.
+
+This Metasploit module exploits broken access control and directory traversal
+vulnerabilities in LG Simple Editor software for gaining code execution.
+The vulnerabilities exists in versions of LG Simple Editor prior to v3.21.
+By exploiting this flaw, an attacker can upload and execute a malicious JSP
+payload with the SYSTEM user permissions.
+
+## Testing
+For installing the vulnerable version follow the steps below,
+1. Download the installation file of the vulnerable software
+[here](https://www.lg.com/us/business/display-solutions/supersign-w-lite/downloads/LGSimpleEditor_setup_v3_21_0.exe.zip)
+2. Follow the installation steps.
+
+After these steps, the LG Simple Editor service should be accessible on port 8080.
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+1. msfconsole
+2. Do: `use exploit/windows/http/lg_simple_editor_rce`
+3. Do: `set RHOST [IP]`
+4. Do: `check`
+
