CVE-2011-5057 Information

Description

Apache Struts 2.3.1.2 and earlier 2.3.19-2.3.23 provides interfaces that do not properly restrict access to collections such as the session and request collections which might allow remote attackers to modify run-time data values via a crafted parameter to an application that implements an affected interface as demonstrated by the SessionAware RequestAware ApplicationAware ServletRequestAware ServletResponseAware and ParameterAware interfaces. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this report because of an \easy work-around in existing apps by configuring the interceptor.\
