NewCVE-2024-53677 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.apache.struts:struts2-core to version 7.0.0 or higher.
Overview
org.apache.struts:struts2-core is a popular open-source framework for developing web applications in the Java programming language.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via manipulation of file upload parameters that enable path traversal. When using FileUploadInterceptor, uploading of a malicious file is possible, which may then be executed on the server.
Notes:
This is only exploitable if the application uses FileUploadInterceptor;
Version 6.4.0 deprecates FileUploadInterceptor, but to fix the vulnerability its use must be replaced by an instance of Action File Upload and the corresponding interceptor. FileUploadInterceptor has been removed in 7.0.0.
