Module Overview
Name: Apache Struts Remote Command Execution
Module: exploit/multi/http/struts_code_exec
Source code: modules/exploits/multi/http/struts_code_exec.rb
Disclosure date: 2010-07-13

Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): Linux, Windows
Target service / protocol: http, https
Target network port(s): 80, 443, 3000, 8000, 8008, 8080, 8443, 8880, 8888
List of CVEs: CVE-2010-1870
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in Apache Struts versions < 2.2.0. This issue is caused by a failure to properly handle unicode characters in OGNL extensive expressions passed to the web server. By sending a specially crafted request to the Struts application it is possible to bypass the "#" restriction on ParameterInterceptors by using OGNL context variables. Bypassing this restriction allows for the execution of arbitrary Java code.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- good: The exploit has a default target and it is the "common case" for this type of software (English, Windows 7 for a desktop app, 2012 for server, etc). More information about ranking can be found here.
Basic Usage
msf > use exploit/multi/http/struts_code_exec
msf exploit(struts_code_exec) > exploit
Required Options
- RHOSTS: The target host(s), range CIDR identifier, or hosts file with syntax 'file:<path>'
Go back to menu.
