RISK: Medium Risk
TYPE: Operating Systems - Networks OS
A vulnerability has been identified in the Apache Struts 2 component of multiple Cisco products.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization on user-supplied input in the XWorks component of the affected software. The component uses the ParameterInterceptors directive to parse the Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) expressions that are implemented via a whitelist feature. By sending crafted requests that contain OGNL expressions to an affected system, it could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
