Apache Struts 2.0.x < 2.2.1 Security Bypass Vulnerability (S2-003)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 117390

Language:

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host uses a Java framework that is affected by a security bypass vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache Struts running on the remote host is 2.0.x prior to 2.2.1. It is, therefore, affected by a security bypass vulnerability in ParameterInterceptor due to improper validation of user-supplied input data. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this, to manipulate server side context objects.

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
