        This module will run a payload when the package manager is used. No
        handler is ran automatically so you must configure an appropriate
        exploit/multi/handler to connect. Module modifies a yum plugin to
        launch a binary of choice. grep -F 'enabled=1' /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/
        will show what plugins are currently enabled on the system.
