** DISPUTED ** The DebuggingInterceptor component in Apache Struts
before 2.3.1.1, when developer mode is used, allows remote attackers
to execute arbitrary commands via unspecified vectors.  NOTE: the
vendor characterizes this behavior as not "a security vulnerability
itself."

Comment 1 David Jorm 2012-01-13 04:11:07 UTC
This issue only affects struts 2.

Comment 4 Chess Hazlett 2019-09-17 20:39:14 UTC
Statement:

A previous statement by Red Hat related to this CVE, prior to August 2019, said that Apache Struts 2 is not included in any Red Hat products. This earlier statement was incorrect. While Struts 2 is not actively compiled, shipped, used, or enabled in any Red Hat provided final products, and does not cause any vulnerability in the product, struts2-core jars have been included in some products' source code packages. The inclusion was part of an import of the Google Guice repository, which includes struts2-core. Customers that build artefacts from our source code could be at risk. Red Hat will remove these artefacts from source code in future releases.

The products that included the Struts 2 artefacts in their source jars:
Fuse Service Works 6.0.0
Single Sign On 7.3.0+

If you have used the source package from one of these products to build artefacts on your system, you should do the following to remove potentially affected jars:
1. Run 'find . -name struts2*.jar' under the source location
2. Remove any files found
This will not affect the product, as the jar is included with the source of google-guice, but no functionality requiring struts2 is implemented.
