GHSA-j77q-2qqg-6989
Apache Struts vulnerable to remote arbitrary command execution due to improper input validation
Quick fix
GHSA-j77q-2qqg-6989 — org.apache.struts:struts2-core: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
# pom.xml: bump <version>2.3.32</version> for org.apache.struts:struts2-coreDetails
Apache Struts versions prior to 2.3.32 and 2.5.10.1 contain incorrect exception handling and error-message generation during file-upload attempts using the Jakarta Multipart parser, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted Content-Type, Content-Disposition, or Content-Length HTTP header, as exploited in the wild in March 2017 with a Content-Type header containing a #cmd= string.
