Descriptions

The value set as the DefaultLocaleResolver.LOCALE_KEY attribute on the session was not validated while resolving XML definition files, leading to possible path traversal and eventually SSRF/XXE when passing user-controlled data to this key. Passing user-controlled data to this key may be relatively common, as it was also used like that to set the language in the 'tiles-test' application shipped with Tiles.

This issue affects Apache Tiles from version 2 onwards.

NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

El valor establecido como atributo DefaultLocaleResolver.LOCALE_KEY en la sesión no se validó al resolver archivos de definición XML, lo que provocó un posible path traversal y, finalmente, SSRF/XXE al pasar datos controlados por el usuario a esta clave. Pasar datos controlados por el usuario a esta clave puede ser relativamente común, ya que también se usó así para configurar el idioma en la aplicación 'tiles-test' incluida con Tiles. Este problema afecta a Apache Tiles desde la versión 2 en adelante. NOTA: Esta vulnerabilidad solo afecta a productos que ya no son compatibles con el mantenedor.
