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

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.
