critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409907

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- File upload logic in Apache Struts is flawed. An attacker can manipulate file upload params to enable
paths traversal and under some circumstances this can lead to uploading a malicious file which can be used
to perform Remote Code Execution. This issue affects Apache Struts: from 2.0.0 before 6.4.0. Users are
recommended to upgrade to version 6.4.0 at least and migrate to the new file upload mechanism
https://struts.apache.org/core-developers/file-upload . If you are not using an old file upload logic
based on FileuploadInterceptor your application is safe. You can find more details in
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-067 (CVE-2024-53677)
