The remote web server is using Apache Struts, a web application framework for developing Java EE web applications.

The version of Apache Struts 2 installed on the remote host fails to properly decode and normalize the request path before serving static content. Using double-encoded directory traversal sequences, an anonymous remote attacker can leverage this issue to download files outside the static content folder.
