Apache Struts 2.x < 2.3.14.3 Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (S2-012)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 128765

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Apache Struts running on the remote host is 2.x prior to 2.3.14.3. It, therefore, is affected by a remote command execution vulnerability in the ParameterInterceptor class due to improper handling of user-supplied input data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this issue, via a crafted parameter name to execute arbitrary OGNL code.

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 2.3.14.3 or later
