CVE Descriptions

ParametersInterceptor in OpenSymphony XWork 2.0.x before 2.0.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.2, as used in Apache Struts and other products, does not properly restrict # (pound sign) references to context objects, which allows remote attackers to execute Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) statements and modify server-side context objects, as demonstrated by use of a \u0023 representation for the # character.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

Exploit information

Exploit Database EDB-ID : 32564

EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/32101/info XWork is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because it fails to adequately handle user-supplied input. Attackers can exploit this issue to manipulate server-side context objects with the privileges of the user running the application. Successful exploits can compromise the application and possibly the underlying computer. Versions prior to XWork 2.0.6 are vulnerable. Struts 2.0.0 through 2.0.11.2 contain vulnerable versions of XWorks and are therefore also affected. To set #session.user to '0wn3d': ('\u0023' + 'session[\'user\']')(unused)=0wn3d
