Description Mark J. Cox 2008-01-28 16:32:10 UTC 
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2006-1546 to the following vulnerability:

Apache Software Foundation (ASF) Struts before 1.2.9 allows remote attackers to bypass validation via a request with a 'org.apache.struts.taglib.html.Constants.CANCEL' parameter, which causes the action to be canceled but would not be detected from applications that do not use the isCancelled check.
