Vulnerability Information
Severity: Medium
Vulnerability Published: 2010-08-15
Patch Published: 2010-08-15
CVE [?]: CVE-2010-1870
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:apache:struts
Synopsis
A web application running on the remote host uses a Java framework that is affected by a possible remote code execution.
Description
The version of Apache Struts running on the remote host is 2.x prior to 2.2.1. It, therefore, is affected by a possible remote code execution vulnerability when OGNL expressions are evaluated due to improper validation by the ParametersInterceptor class.
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 2.2.1 or later
Public Exploits
Target Network Port(s): N/A
Target Asset(s): installed_sw/Apache Struts, installed_sw/Struts
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB, GitHub, Immunity Canvas, Core Impact, D2 Elliot)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available
