Description Martin Prpič 2014-12-09 08:08:18 EST
It was found that the Struts 2 Random Number Generator component generates predictable form submission tokens. A remote attacker able to acquire a victim's form submission token could predict the next value of this token and perform Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks against that victim.

This flaw is reported to affect Struts 2.0.0 through 2.3.16.3. It is corrected in Struts 2.3.20.

Comment 1 Martin Prpič 2014-12-09 08:14:02 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.
