Apache Struts 2.0.x < 2.0.9 RCE (S2-001)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 117365

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 2.0.x prior to 2.0.9. It, therefore, is affected by a possible remote code execution vulnerability when OGNL expressions are evaluated in a form field.

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 2.0.9 or later
