Apache Struts file upload logic is flawed
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.apache.struts:struts2-core | < 6.4.0 | 6.4.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
File upload logic is flawed vulnerability in Apache Struts. An attacker can manipulate file upload params to enable paths traversal and under some circumstances this can lead to uploading a malicious file which can be used to perform Remote Code Execution.
This issue affects Apache Struts: from 2.0.0 before 6.4.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.4.0 at least and migrate to the new file upload mechanism https://struts.apache.org/core-developers/file-upload. If you are not using an old file upload logic based on FileuploadInterceptor your application is safe.
You can find more details in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-067 .
