high Nessus Plugin ID 117400

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host uses a Java framework that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Apache Struts running on the remote host is 2.x prior to 2.3.4.1. It, therefore, is affected by multiple vulnerabilities including a Denial of Service (DoS) and cross-site request forgery (XSRF) vulnerabilities.

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 2.3.4.1 or later
