          This module exploits a server-side include (SSI) in SharePoint to leak
          the web.config file and forge a malicious ViewState with the extracted
          validation key.

          This exploit is authenticated and requires a user with page creation
          privileges, which is a standard permission in SharePoint.

          The web.config file will be stored in loot once retrieved, and the
          VALIDATION_KEY option can be set to short-circuit the SSI and trigger
          the ViewState deserialization.

          Tested against SharePoint 2019 on Windows Server 2016.
