Description

This module exploits an authentication bypass vulnerability
in the F5 BIG-IP iControl REST service to gain access to the
admin account, which is capable of executing commands
through the /mgmt/tm/util/bash endpoint.

Successful exploitation results in remote code execution
as the root user.
