Descriptions

ParametersInterceptor in OpenSymphony XWork 2.0.x before 2.0.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.2, as used in Apache Struts and other products, does not properly restrict # (pound sign) references to context objects, which allows remote attackers to execute Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) statements and modify server-side context objects, as demonstrated by use of a \u0023 representation for the # character.

ParametersInterceptor en OpenSymphony XWork 2.0.x antes de 2.0.6 y 2.1.x antes de 2.1.2, tal como se utiliza en Apache Struts y otros productos, no restringe adecuadamente las referencias # (almohadilla) a objetos de contexto, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar sentencias OGNL (Object-Graph Navigation Language) y modificar los objetos del contexto del lado del servidor contexto objetos, como lo demuestra el uso de una representación \u0023 del carácter #.
