ActionServlet.java in Apache Struts 1 1.x through 1.3.10 does not properly restrict the Validator configuration, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or cause a denial of service via crafted input, a related issue to CVE-2015-0899.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - struts: Vulnerability in ActionForm allows unintended remote operations against components on server     memory (CVE-2016-1181)

  - struts: Improper input validation in Validator (CVE-2016-1182)

  - The MultiPageValidator implementation in Apache Struts 1 1.1 through 1.3.10 allows remote attackers to     bypass intended access restrictions via a modified page parameter. (CVE-2015-0899)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0.0.x through 7.0.0.45, 8.0.0.x through 8.0.0.15, 8.5.0.x prior to 8.5.5.14 or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.0.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities related to Apache Struts, including the following:

  - Apache Commons BeanUtils, as distributed in lib/commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar in Apache Struts 1.x through     1.3.10 and in other products requiring commons-beanutils through 1.9.2, does not suppress the class     property, which allows remote attackers to manipulate the ClassLoader and execute arbitrary code via the     class parameter, as demonstrated by the passing of this parameter to the getClass method of the ActionForm     object in Struts 1. (CVE-2014-0114)

  - ActionServlet.java in Apache Struts 1 1.x through 1.3.10 mishandles multithreaded access to an ActionForm     instance, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (unexpected     memory access) via a multipart request, a related issue to CVE-2015-0899. (CVE-2016-1181)

  - ActionServlet.java in Apache Struts 1 1.x through 1.3.10 does not properly restrict the Validator     configuration, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or cause a     denial of service via crafted input, a related issue to CVE-2015-0899. (CVE-2016-1182)

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

The version of Oracle WebCenter Portal installed on the remote host is missing a security patch from the January 2018 Critical Patch Update (CPU). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - A vulnerability in the PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Human     Resources component of Oracle PeopleSoft Products     (subcomponent: Install (Bouncy Castle Java package)).
    Supported versions that are affected are 9.1 and 9.2.
    An unauthenticated attacker with network access via     HTTP can exploit the vulnerability to compromise     PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM Human Resources.
    A successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in     unauthorized read access to a subset of PeopleSoft     Enterprise HCM Human Resources accessible data.
    (CVE-2015-7940)

  - A vulnerability in the Oracle WebCenter Portal component     of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: Security     Framework (Apache Struts 1)). Supported versions that are     affected are 11.1.1.9.0, 12.2.1.2.0 and 12.2.1.3.0. An     unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP     can exploit the vulnerability to compromise Oracle     WebCenter Portal. A successful attacks of this     vulnerability can result in a complete Denial-of-Service     of Oracle WebCenter Portal including the update, insert     or delete access to some of Oracle Web Portal accessible     data. (CVE-2016-1182)

  - A vulnerability in the Oracle WebCenter Portal component     of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: WebCenter     Spaces Application). Supported versions that are affected     are 11.1.1.9.0, 12.2.1.2.0 and 12.2.1.3.0. An unauthenticated     attacker with network access via HTTP can exploit the     vulnerability to compromise Oracle WebCenter Portal.
    A successful attack require humans interaction to be effective     and can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or     modification access to Oracle WebCenter Portal data.
    (CVE-2018-2713)

According to its self-reported version, the Oracle iPlanet Web Server (formerly known as Sun Java System Web Server) running on the remote host is 7.0.x prior to 7.0.27 Patch 26834070. It is, therefore, affected by an unspecified vulnerability in the Network Security Services (NSS) library with unknown impact.

The version of Oracle HTTP Server installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as noted in the January 2018 CPU advisory.
