          This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in
          Apache Struts versions < 2.2.1.1. This issue is caused because the
          ExceptionDelegator interprets 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.
