Overview

org.apache.struts:struts2-core is a popular open-source framework for developing web applications in the Java programming language.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution. When the namespace value is not set for a result defined in underlying xml configurations, and in same time, its upper action(s) configurations have no or wildcard namespace, an attacker may be able to conduct a remote code execution attack. They could also use the opportunity when using a url tag which does not have a value and action set and in same time, its upper action(s) configurations have no or wildcard namespace.
