ZPanel 10.0.0.2 htpasswd Module Username Command Execution
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.

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.
