2.2.1
Upgrade org.apache.struts:struts2-core to this version or later

Description

OGNL provides, among other features, extensive expression evaluation capabilities. This vulnerability allows a malicious user to bypass the '#'-usage protection built into the ParametersInterceptor, thus being able to manipulate server side context objects. This behavior was already addressed in S2-003, but it turned out that the resulting fix based on whitelisting acceptable parameter names closed the vulnerability only partially.

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.

org.apache.struts:struts2-core Maven → 2.2.1

<dependency><groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId><artifactId>struts2-core</artifactId><version>2.2.1</version></dependency>
