Description

This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in Apache
Struts 2. The problem exists on applications running in developer mode,
where the DebuggingInterceptor allows evaluation and execution of OGNL
expressions, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Java
code. This module has been tested successfully on Struts 2.3.16, Tomcat
7 and Ubuntu 10.04.
