An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2011-1772 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.struts:struts2-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.2.3\n- org.apache.struts:struts2-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.2.3\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-2011-1772/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-1772/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-1772","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-1772/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-1772","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-56f8-g68r-j699"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java web framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via specific action and submit element attributes in Apache Struts 2.x and OpenSymphony WebWork.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"struts","vendor":"apache"},{"product":"webwork","vendor":"opensymphony"},{"product":"xwork","vendor":"opensymphony"}],"cvss":{"score":2.6,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in XWork in Apache Struts 2.x before 2.2.3, and OpenSymphony XWork in OpenSymphony WebWork, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving (1) an action name, (2) the action attribute of an s:submit element, or (3) the method attribute of an s:submit element.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2011-05-10","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2011-05-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"35735","stars":null,"title":"Apache Struts 2.0.0 \u003c 2.2.1.1 - XWork 's:submit' HTML Tag Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting in Apache Struts","id":"CVE-2011-1772","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:struts","products":["apache:struts"],"type":"xss","year":"2011"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1773"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.2.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts2-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-56f8-g68r-j699"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.2.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts2-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.struts/struts2-core","source":"GHSA-56f8-g68r-j699"}],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1771"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2011-05-13","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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via specific action and submit element attributes in Apache Struts 2.x and OpenSymphony WebWork.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-1772/"}
