Description David Jorm 2014-03-06 21:24:47 EST

It was found that the Struts 2 ParametersInterceptor allows access to the 'class' parameter, which is directly mapped to the getClass() method. A remote attacker could use this flaw to manipulate the ClassLoader used by the application server running Struts 2. This could lead to arbitrary remote code execution under certain conditions.

This flaw is reported to affect Struts 2.0.0 through to Struts 2.3.16. It is corrected in 2.3.16.1.

Comment 1 David Jorm 2014-03-06 21:33:48 EST

Statement:

Not Vulnerable. This issue only affects struts 2, it does not affect the versions of struts as shipped with various Red Hat products. A similar issue exists in struts 1, identified by CVE-2014-0114.

Applications using a third-party struts 2 library, deployed to Red Hat JBoss products, may be affected. Additional information can be found in the Red Hat Knowledgebase article: https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/800293
