Description
This creates a local user with a username/password and root-level privileges. Note that a root-level account is not required to do this, which makes it a privilege escalation issue.
Note that this is pretty noisy, since it creates a user account and creates log files and such. Additionally, most (if not all) vulnerabilities in F5 grant root access anyways.
