File name CVE-2020-3592.py
written by tijl[dot]deneut[at]howest[dot]be for www.ic4.be

## Vulnerable setup (requirements): vCenter Server 6.7 that was upgraded from 6.x

This is a native implementation without requirements, written in Python 3.
Works equally well on Windows as Linux (as MacOS, probably ;-)
