- CVE-2014-0112, CVE-2014-0113: The excluded parameter pattern introduced in version
2.3.16.1 to block access to getClass() method wasn't sufficient. It is possible to omit
that with specially crafted requests. Also CookieInterceptor is vulnerable for the same
kind of attack when it was configured to accept all cookies (when '*' is used to
configure cookiesName param).
- CVE-2014-0116: The excluded parameter pattern introduced in version 2.3.16.2 to block
access to getClass() method didn't cover other cases and because of that attacker can
change state of session, request and so on (when '*' is used to configure cookiesName
param).
- CVE-2014-7809: The attacker fetch any given form where a token is present and can
predict the next value of the token used to secure form submission.
- CVE-2015-2992, CVE-2015-5169: When the Struts2 debug mode is turned on, under certain
conditions an arbitrary script may be executed in the 'Problem Report' screen. Also if
JSP files are exposed to be accessed directly it's possible to execute an arbitrary
script.");
script_tag(name:"impact", value:"- CVE-2014-0112, CVE-2014-0113: A remote attacker can
execute arbitrary Java code via crafted parameters.
- CVE-2014-0116: Possibility to change internal state of session, request, etc.
- CVE-2014-7809: The attacker make a specially craft form using the predicted token that
force an action to a logged-in user (CSRF).

debug mode is switched on or JSPs are exposed in production environment.");
