NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libstruts1.2-java package and not the libstruts1.2-java package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Apache Struts 2.x before 2.3.25 does not sanitize text in the Locale object constructed by I18NInterceptor, which might allow remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via unspecified vectors involving language display.
