Description

This module exploits a PHP code execution vulnerability in HybridAuth versions 2.0.9 to 2.2.2. The install file 'install.php' is not removed after installation allowing unauthenticated users to write PHP code to the application configuration file 'config.php'. Note: This exploit will overwrite the application configuration file rendering the application unusable.

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.
