Descriptions

CookieInterceptor in Apache Struts before 2.3.20, when a wildcard cookiesName value is used, does not properly restrict access to the getClass method, which allows remote attackers to "manipulate" the ClassLoader and execute arbitrary code via a crafted request. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-0094.

CookieInterceptor en Apache Struts versiones anteriores a 2.3.20, cuando un valor de cookiesName comodín es usado, no restringe correctamente el acceso al método getClass, lo que permite a atacantes remotos "manipulate" el ClassLoader y ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de una petición diseñada. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad se presenta debido a una corrección incompleta de CVE-2014-0094.
