Description

This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in Apache Struts
versions for the use of parentheses which in turn allows it to interpret parameter values as
OGNL expressions during certain exception handling for mismatched data types of
properties which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Java code via a
crafted parameter.
