Description

This module exploits a .NET serialization vulnerability in the
Exchange Control Panel (ECP) web page. The vulnerability is due to
Microsoft Exchange Server not randomizing the keys on a
per-installation basis resulting in them using the same validationKey
and decryptionKey values. With knowledge of these values, an attacker
can craft a special ViewState to cause an OS command to be executed
by NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM using .NET deserialization.
