        This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in Apache Struts
        versions < 2.3.16.2. This issue is caused because the ParametersInterceptor allows
        access to 'class' parameter which is directly mapped to getClass() method and
        allows ClassLoader manipulation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary
        Java code via crafted parameters.
