Option	Description
`-u, --url`	Target Crafty Controller URL (e.g., `https://10.67.3.77:8443`)
`-l, --login`	Username for authentication
`-p, --password`	Password for authentication
`-lh, --lhost`	Attacker IP for reverse shell callback
`-lp, --lport`	Attacker port for reverse shell callback

Requirement	Exploit Strategy
XSRF Token	Extracts `_xsrf` from cookies and mirrors it in `X-XSRFToken` and `token` headers.
Referer Check	Sets `Referer` to the dashboard path to mimic legitimate user interaction.
Header Mapping	Maps the `_xsrf` value to a specific `token` header required by the action dispatcher.
Payload	Leverages `self._TemplateReference__context` to reach the `os` module.
