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-2012-0393 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.struts.xwork:xwork-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.2.3.1\n- org.apache.struts.xwork:xwork-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.2.3.1\n- org.apache.struts:struts2-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.3.1.1\n- org.apache.struts:struts2-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.3.1.1\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-2012-0393/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-0393/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-0393","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-0393/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-0393","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hxqq-w4mr-mc62"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java web framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or overwrite files by exploiting improper access controls in Apache Struts parameter handling.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"struts","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The ParameterInterceptor component in Apache Struts before 2.3.1.1 does not prevent access to public constructors, which allows remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a crafted parameter that triggers the creation of a Java object.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2012-01-06","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2012-01-06","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"18329","stars":null,"title":"Apache Struts 2 \u003c 2.3.1 - Multiple Vulnerabilities"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Apache Struts's ParameterInterceptor component does not prevent access to public constructors","id":"CVE-2012-0393","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:struts","products":["apache:struts"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2012"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Apache Struts's DebuggingInterceptor component allows remote code execution in developer mode","id":"CVE-2012-0394"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.2.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.struts.xwork:xwork-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-hxqq-w4mr-mc62"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.2.3.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.struts.xwork:xwork-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.struts.xwork/xwork-core","source":"GHSA-hxqq-w4mr-mc62"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.3.1.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts2-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-hxqq-w4mr-mc62"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.3.1.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts2-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.struts/struts2-core","source":"GHSA-hxqq-w4mr-mc62"}],"prev":{"headline":"Apache Struts's CookieInterceptor component does not use the parameter-name whitelist","id":"CVE-2012-0392"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-01-08","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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or overwrite files by exploiting improper access controls in Apache Struts parameter handling.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-0393/"}
