          This module exploits CVE-2021-25296, CVE-2021-25297, and CVE-2021-25298, which are
          OS command injection vulnerabilities in the windowswmi, switch, and cloud-vm

          execution on Nagios XI versions 5.5.6 to 5.7.5 as the apache user.

          Valid credentials for a Nagios XI user are required. This module has
