          This module exploits a PHP Code Injection vulnerability against WordPress plugin
        W3 Total Cache for versions up to and including 0.9.2.8.  WP Super Cache 1.2 or older
        is also reported as vulnerable.  The vulnerability is due to the handling of certain
        macros such as mfunc, which allows arbitrary PHP code injection.  A valid post ID is
        needed in order to add the malicious comment.  If the POSTID option isn't specified,
        then the module will automatically find or bruteforce one.  Also, if anonymous comments
        aren't allowed, then a valid username and password must be provided.  In addition,
        the "A comment is held for moderation" option on WordPress must be unchecked for
        successful exploitation.  This module has been tested against WordPress 3.5 and
        W3 Total Cache 0.9.2.3 on a Ubuntu 10.04 system.
