Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in ZPanel's htpasswd module. When
creating .htaccess using the htpasswd module, the username field can be used to
inject system commands, which is passed on to a system() function for executing
the system's htpasswd command.

Please note: In order to use this module, you must have a valid account to login
to ZPanel. An account part of any of the default groups should suffice, such as:
Administrators, Resellers, or Users (Clients). By default, there's already a
'zadmin' user, but the password is randomly generated.
