This module exploits an authenticated privilege escalation
vulnerability in the iControl API on the F5 BIG-IP LTM (and likely
other F5 devices). This requires valid credentials and the Resource
Administrator role. The exploit should work on BIG-IP 11.3.0
- 11.6.0, (11.5.x < 11.5.3 HF2 or 11.6.x < 11.6.0 HF6, see references
for more details)
