'Name' => 'Pi-Hole heisenbergCompensator Blocklist OS Command Execution',
'Description' => %q{
This exploits a command execution in Pi-Hole <= 4.4. A new blocklist is added, and then an
update is forced (gravity) to pull in the blocklist content. PHP content is then written
to a file within the webroot. Phase 1 writes a sudo pihole command to launch teleporter,
effectively running a priv esc. Phase 2 writes our payload to teleporter.php, overwriting,
the content. Lastly, the phase 1 PHP file is called in the web root, which launches
our payload in teleporter.php with root privileges.
