Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2012-1592 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.struts:struts2-core (Maven): affected from 2.0; fixed in 2.5.22\n- org.apache.struts:struts2-core (Maven): affected from 2.0; fixed in 2.5.22\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-2012-1592/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1592/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-1592","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1592/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-1592","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8m5q-crqq-6pmf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java web framework","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local code execution vulnerability in Apache Struts2 allows malicious users to upload and execute arbitrary files via malformed XSLT processing.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"struts","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-434","name":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type"}],"description":"A local code execution issue exists in Apache Struts2 when processing malformed XSLT files, which could let a malicious user upload and execute arbitrary files.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2012-03-23","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2012-03-23","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"37009","stars":null,"title":"Apache Struts 2.0 - 'XSLTResult.java' Arbitrary File Upload"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in Apache Struts2","id":"CVE-2012-1592","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:struts","products":["apache:struts"],"type":"file_upload","year":"2012"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1593"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.5.22"],"introduced":["2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts2-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-8m5q-crqq-6pmf"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.5.22"],"introduced":["2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts2-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.struts/struts2-core","source":"GHSA-8m5q-crqq-6pmf"}],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1591"},"products":["libstruts1.2-java"],"published":"2019-12-05","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":["libstruts1.2-java"]},"summary":"A local code execution vulnerability in Apache Struts2 allows malicious users to upload and execute arbitrary files via malformed XSLT processing.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1592/"}
