Description

This module exploits a vulnerability on Microsoft Exchange Server that
allows an attacker to bypass the authentication (CVE-2021-31207), impersonate an
arbitrary user (CVE-2021-34523) and write an arbitrary file (CVE-2021-34473) to achieve
the RCE (Remote Code Execution).

By taking advantage of this vulnerability, you can execute arbitrary
commands on the remote Microsoft Exchange Server.

This vulnerability affects Exchange 2013 CU23
Exchange 2016 CU19 Exchange 2019 CU8
All components are vulnerable by default.
