Description

This module exploits the Web UI for Metasploit Community, Express and
Pro where one of a certain set of Weekly Releases have been applied.
These Weekly Releases introduced a static secret_key_base value.
Knowledge of the static secret_key_base value allows for
deserialization of a crafted Ruby Object, achieving code execution.

This module is based on
exploits/multi/http/rails_secret_deserialization
