Description

VMware vCenter Server is affected by the Log4Shell vulnerability whereby a JNDI string can sent to the server
that will cause it to connect to the attacker and deserialize a malicious Java object. This results in OS
command execution in the context of the root user in the case of the Linux virtual appliance and SYSTEM on
Windows.

This module will start an LDAP server that the target will need to connect to. This exploit uses the logon page
vector.
