Server-Side Template Injection: RCE for the Modern Web App

User input concatenated into a server-side template is executed by the template engine, not just reflected, so it looks like XSS while actually running code on the server. The paper gives a detect-identify-exploit methodology and working sandbox escapes to remote code execution for FreeMarker, Velocity, Smarty, Twig and Jade, plus zerodays in Alfresco and XWiki.
