This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in the inline request processor of the Ruby on Rails ActionPack component. This vulnerability allows an attacker to process ERB to the inline JSON processor, which is then rendered, permitting full RCE within the runtime, without logging an error condition.

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.
