On December 8, 2020, Struts released a security bulletin disclosing a potential remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2020-17530) in S2-061.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation. This results in two forced Object Graph Navigation Library (OGNL) evaluations when the original user input is calculated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the OGNL expression is forced in Struts tag attributes and can be modified by external input, an attacker could craft a malicious OGNL expression to trigger the vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vulnerability has been fixed in Struts 2.5.26. Affected users are advised to upgrade to Struts 2.5.26 without delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
For more information, see Struts’s security bulletin at the following link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Struts has officially released a new version to fix the preceding vulnerability. Users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If users cannot upgrade for the time being, they should avoid using forced OGNL evaluation on untrusted user input to reduce risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The official security bulletin is available at the following link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This advisory is only used to describe a potential risk.
