QID 982310

QID 982310: Java (maven) Security Update for org.apache.struts:struts2-core (GHSA-j77q-2qqg-6989)

The Jakarta Multipart parser in Apache Struts 2 2.3.x before 2.3.32 and 2.5.x before 2.5.10.1 has incorrect exception handling and error-message generation during file-upload attempts, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted Content-Type, Content-Disposition, or Content-Length HTTP header, as exploited in the wild in March 2017 with a Content-Type header containing a #cmd= string.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
