Apache Struts 2.3.20 Incorrect Default Exclude Pattern (S2-024)

high Nessus Plugin ID 83487

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a web application that uses a Java framework that contains incorrect default exclude patterns.

Description

The remote web server is using Apache Struts version 2.3.20. It is, therefore, affected by an issue where the default exclude patterns are incorrect when using default settings. This allows a remote attacker to impact the internal application's state.

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 2.3.20.1 or later.
