Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache Struts versions 2.x before 2.3.20.2 Apache Struts versions 2.3.24.x before 2.3.24.2 Apache Struts versions 2.3.28.x before 2.3.28.1

Description The issue is related to the XSLTResult class in Apache Struts, which is vulnerable due to insufficient input validation. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the stylesheetLocation parameter. The vulnerability can be exploited by passing a malicious stylesheet location as a request parameter, potentially leading to remote code execution.

Recommendations For Apache Struts versions 2.x before 2.3.20.2, update to version 2.3.20.2 or later. For Apache Struts versions 2.3.24.x before 2.3.24.2, update to version 2.3.24.2 or later. For Apache Struts versions 2.3.28.x before 2.3.28.1, update to version 2.3.28.1 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the stylesheetLocation parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
