Code injection in Apache Struts

Source: GitHub Advisory Database (reviewed) Critical CVE-2013-2251

Maven org.apache.struts:struts2-core < 2.3.15.1 2.3.15.1

Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

The Struts 2 DefaultActionMapper supports a method for short-circuit navigation state changes by prefixing parameters with "action:" or "redirect:", followed by a desired navigational target expression. This mechanism was intended to help with attaching navigational information to buttons within forms. In Struts 2 before 2.3.15.1 the information following "action:", "redirect:" or "redirectAction:" is not properly sanitized. Since said information will be evaluated as OGNL expression against the value stack, this introduces the possibility to inject server side code.
