An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-6505 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.struts:struts2-core (Maven): affected from 2.0.0; fixed in 2.0.12\n- org.apache.struts:struts2-core (Maven): affected from 2.0.0; fixed in 2.0.12\n- org.apache.struts:struts2-core (Maven): affected from 2.1.0; fixed in 2.1.3\n- org.apache.struts:struts2-core (Maven): affected from 2.1.0; fixed in 2.1.3\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6505/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6505/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-6505","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6505/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-6505","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wv7g-xhvw-8hcp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java web framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files via directory traversal in Apache Struts, exposing sensitive data to unauthorized users.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"struts","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in Apache Struts 2.0.x before 2.0.12 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a ..%252f (encoded dot dot slash) in a URI with a /struts/ path, related to (1) FilterDispatcher in 2.0.x and (2) DefaultStaticContentLoader in 2.1.x.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-11-04","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-11-04","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"32565","stars":null,"title":"Struts 2.0.11 - Multiple Directory Traversal Vulnerabilities"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Apache Struts directory traversal vulnerability","id":"CVE-2008-6505","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:struts","products":["apache:struts"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2008"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6506"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.0.12"],"introduced":["2.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts2-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-wv7g-xhvw-8hcp"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.0.12"],"introduced":["2.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts2-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.struts/struts2-core","source":"GHSA-wv7g-xhvw-8hcp"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.1.3"],"introduced":["2.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts2-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-wv7g-xhvw-8hcp"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.1.3"],"introduced":["2.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts2-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.struts/struts2-core","source":"GHSA-wv7g-xhvw-8hcp"}],"prev":{"headline":"Improper Input Validation in OpenSymphony XWork","id":"CVE-2008-6504"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-03-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Struts Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-17530","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Struts 1 Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2017-9791","kev_date_added":"2022-02-10","published":"2017-07-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Struts Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-5638","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2017-03-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Struts 2 Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2012-0391","kev_date_added":"2022-01-21","published":"2012-01-08"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Apache Struts Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2018-11776","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-08-22"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Apache Struts Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2017-9805","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2017-09-15"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Apache Struts Command Injection","id":"CVE-2016-3081","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2016-04-26"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files via directory traversal in Apache Struts, exposing sensitive data to unauthorized users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6505/"}
