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 2.3.15.1. It, therefore, is affected by multiple vulnerabilities including a remote command execution vulnerability and an open redirect vulnerability.

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 2.3.15.1 or later
