        This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in Apache Struts
        versions < 2.3.1.2. This issue is caused because the ParametersInterceptor allows
        for the use of parentheses which in turn allows it to interpret 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.
