Description David Jorm 2014-05-05 23:54:57 EDT

It was found that the Struts 2 CookieInterceptor allows access to Struts internal classes. A remote attacker could use this flaw to manipulate the state of session and request data on an application server running Struts 2.

This flaw is reported to affect Struts 2.0.0 through to Struts 2.3.16.2. It is corrected in 2.3.16.3.

Comment 1 David Jorm 2014-05-05 23:55:51 EDT

Statement:

Not Vulnerable. This issue only affects struts 2, it does not affect the versions of struts as shipped with various Red Hat products.

Applications using a third-party struts 2 library, deployed to Red Hat JBoss products, may be affected.
