Apache Struts 2.0.0 < 2.3.18 RCE (S2-008)

high Nessus Plugin ID 207697

Language:

Synopsis

Apache Struts installed on the remote host is affected by remote code execution vulnerability

Description

The version of Apache Struts installed on the remote host is prior to 2.3.18. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the S2-008 advisory.

 - The DebuggingInterceptor component in Apache Struts before 2.3.1.1, when developer mode is used, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via unspecified vectors. NOTE: the vendor characterizes this behavior as not a security vulnerability itself. (CVE-2012-0394)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Struts version 2.3.18 or later. Alternatively, apply the workaround as referenced in in the vendor's security bulletin
