CVE-2014-0113 EXPLOIT
7.5
HIGH · CVSS 2.0 · EPSS 77.8% (pctl 100)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
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.
