Description Martin Prpič 2015-05-18 08:17:12 EDT

It was found that incorrect default exclude patterns were introduced in the 2.3.20 version of Struts. If the default settings are used, a remote attacker could compromise an internal application's state.

Statement:

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