        This module exploits a post-auth command injection in the Pulse Secure
        VPN server to execute commands as root. The env(1) command is used to
        bypass application whitelisting and run arbitrary commands.
 
        Please see related module auxiliary/gather/pulse_secure_file_disclosure
        for a pre-auth file read that is able to obtain plaintext and hashed
        credentials, plus session IDs that may be used with this exploit.
 
        A valid administrator session ID is required in lieu of untested SSRF.
