Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Command injection in pymetasploit3 versions through 1.0.6, in the console.run_module_with_output() function. An attacker who can supply module option values such as RHOSTS can inject newline characters, causing the Metasploit console to run additional commands, potentially including arbitrary command execution and manipulation of Metasploit sessions. The source does not list a fixed version, so no fix is available; avoid passing untrusted input into module options.
