Apache Struts 2.x < 2.2.1 OGNL RCE (S2-005)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 117363

Language:

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host uses a Java framework that is affected by a possible remote code execution.

Description

The version of Apache Struts running on the remote host is 2.x prior to 2.2.1. It, therefore, is affected by a possible remote code execution vulnerability when OGNL expressions are evaluated due to improper validation by the ParametersInterceptor class.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Struts version 2.2.1 or later
