        'Description' => %q{
          This module exploits an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in
          HorizontCMS 1.0.0-beta in order to execute arbitrary commands.

          The module first attempts to authenticate to HorizontCMS. It then tries
          to upload a malicious PHP file via an HTTP POST request to
          `/admin/file-manager/fileupload`. The server will rename this file to a
          random string. The module will therefore attempt to change the filename
          back to the original name via an HTTP POST request to
          `/admin/file-manager/rename`. For the `php` target, the payload is
          embedded in the uploaded file and the module attempts to execute the
          payload via an HTTP GET request to `/storage/file_name`. For the `linux`
          and `windows` targets, the module uploads a simple PHP web shell
          similar to `<?php system($_GET["cmd"]); ?>`. Subsequently, it leverages
          the CmdStager mixin to deliver the final payload via a series of HTTP
          GET requests to the PHP web shell.

          Valid credentials for a HorizontCMS user with permissions to use the
          FileManager are required. This would be all users in the Admin, Manager
          and Editor groups if HorizontCMS is configured with the default group
          settings.This module has been successfully tested against HorizontCMS
          1.0.0-beta running on Ubuntu 18.04.
