VII. Components
-------------------------
Affected Component:
Path(inurl): /Autodiscover
Parameter: Authorization

VIII. PROOF OF CONCEPT
-------------------------
Request example:

GET /Autodiscover HTTP/1.1
Host: owa.zzzzz.com.tr
Authorization: Basic abc

Affected parameter: Authorization

If Authorization is being sent with following format victim server
will send out DNS queries to xxx domain.  (xxx is the domain which you
want to send
request from server)

xxx\qqq:aaa

As you see above, we have a base64 payload for authorization header.
If we decode that payload we will see a structure like
"domain\username:password".
In that case, if we intercept the request and create a new base64
payload and set a different domain then default. (for example xxxx.com)
Now, we have a payload like"xxxx.com\qqq:aaa" and encode this payload
with base64. While we send our request with this payload, server will
send DNS request to xxxx
domain.
