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-2011-5057 exists.\n\nAffected product: Apache Struts. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2011-5057/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-5057/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-5057","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-5057/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-5057","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x5vg-p6mw-ffv4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java web framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can modify run-time data values in Apache Struts applications by exploiting improperly restricted access to session and request collections.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"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:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Apache Struts 2.3.1.2 and earlier, 2.3.19-2.3.23, provides interfaces that do not properly restrict access to collections such as the session and request collections, which might allow remote attackers to modify run-time data values via a crafted parameter to an application that implements an affected interface, as demonstrated by the SessionAware, RequestAware, ApplicationAware, ServletRequestAware, ServletResponseAware, and ParameterAware interfaces.
