Description

This module exploits a mass assignment vulnerability in the 'create' action of 'users' controller of Foreman and Red Hat OpenStack/Satellite (Foreman 1.2.0-RC1 and earlier) by creating an arbitrary administrator account. For this exploit to work, your account must have 'create_users' permission (e.g., Manager role).

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
