From among the many musings of longtime contributor/team member Brent Cook
[https://github.com/busterb], in a combined effort with the ever-present wvu

WordPress RCE
tiyeuse [https://github.com/tiyeuse] submitted a Metasploit module
[https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/11587] for an authenticated
remote code execution vulnerability in WordPress, which was described in a blog
post by RIPS Technology [https://www.sonarsource.com/blog/]. After
authenticating as a user with at least author privileges, the module starts by

Your workflow just got easier
Are you tired of copy/pasting module names from the search results before you
can use them? Thanks to this enhancement (PR #11652)
[https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/11652] by Brent Cook
[https://github.com/busterb], you can now run search with the -u flag to
automatically use a module if there is only one result. Now you're one step
closer to popping a shell!

elFinder remote command injection
elFinder [https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder] is a client-side open-source
file manager tool written for web applications. In a browser it has the look and
feel of a native file manager application. It ships with a PHP connector
[https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder/tree/master/php], which integrates the
client side with the back end server. The connector provides the ability for
unauthenticated users to upload an image and resize it. It does so by shelling

Document ALL THE THINGS!
This release sees quite a bit of documentation added with a module doc from
bcoles and four new module docs from newer docs contributor Yashvendra
[https://github.com/Yashvendra]. Module docs can be viewed with info -d and are
extremely helpful for getting acquainted with a modules capabilities and
limitations. We greatly value these contributions because, while not cool h4x0r
