This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability in Java 7, which allows an attacker to run arbitrary Java code outside the sandbox. The vulnerability seems to be related to the use of the newly introduced ClassFinder#resolveClass in Java 7, which allows the sun.awt.SunToolkit class to be loaded and modified. Please note this flaw is also being exploited in the wild, and there is no patch from Oracle at this point
