      'Description' => %q{
          Some Linksys Routers are vulnerable to an authenticated OS command injection on
        their web interface where default credentials are admin/admin or admin/password.
        Since it is a blind OS command injection vulnerability, there is no output for the
        executed command when using the cmd generic payload. This module has been tested on
        a  Linksys WRT160n version 2 - firmware version v2.0.03. A ping command against a
        controlled system could be used for testing purposes. The exploit uses the tftp
        client from the device to stage to native payloads from the command injection.
