Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2011-5057 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2011-5057
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-5057
Assigned: 20120108
Reference: http://codesecure.blogspot.com/2011/12/struts-2-session-tampering-via.html
Reference: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-2264
Reference: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3631
Reference: http://secunia.com/advisories/47109

Apache Struts 2.3.1.1 and earlier provides interfaces that do not
properly restrict access to collections such as the session and
request collections, which might allow remote attackers to modify
run-time data values via a crafted parameter to an application that
implements an affected interface, as demonstrated by the SessionAware,
RequestAware, ApplicationAware, ServletRequestAware,
ServletResponseAware, and ParameterAware interfaces.  NOTE: the vendor
disputes the significance of this report because of an "easy
work-around in existing apps by configuring the interceptor."

Comment 2 David Jorm 2012-01-12 23:08:44 EST
