HTTP: Apache Struts2 ParametersInterceptor Remote Command Execution
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known command execution vulnerability in Apache Struts2; it exists in the Web application framework Apache Struts2. It is due to insufficient input validation in the ParametersInterceptor component when parsing incoming HTTP requests. A remote attacker can leverage this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to a target system. This malicious code would be executed within the privileges of the affected service. Unsuccessful attack attempts can cause the targeted Web application to stop responding or enter into an error state, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.
Extended Description
XWork is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because it fails to adequately handle user-supplied input. Attackers can exploit this issue to manipulate server-side context objects with the privileges of the user running the application. Successful exploits can compromise the application and possibly the underlying computer. This issue is related to the vulnerability documented in BID 32101 (XWork 'ParameterInterceptor' Class OGNL Security Bypass Vulnerability); the implemented solution appears to have been incomplete.
