An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-1181 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.struts:struts-core (Maven): affected all versions up to 1.3.10; no fix listed\n- org.apache.struts:struts-core (Maven): affected all versions up to 1.3.10; no fix listed\n- struts:struts (Maven): affected all versions up to 1.2.9; no fix listed\n- struts:struts (Maven): affected all versions up to 1.2.9; no fix listed\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-2016-1181/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1181/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-1181","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1181/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-1181","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7jw3-5q4w-89qg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Struts 1","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via a race condition in multipart request handling.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"struts","vendor":"apache"},{"product":"banking_platform","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"portal","vendor":"oracle"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"ActionServlet.java in Apache Struts 1 1.x through 1.3.10 mishandles multithreaded access to an ActionForm instance, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (unexpected memory access) via a multipart request, a related issue to CVE-2015-0899.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Improper Input Validation in Apache Struts","id":"CVE-2016-1181","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:struts","products":["apache:struts","oracle:banking_platform"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2016"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":21,"next":{"headline":"Improper Input Validation in Apache Struts","id":"CVE-2016-1182"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.3.10"],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-7jw3-5q4w-89qg"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.3.10"],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.struts/struts-core","source":"GHSA-7jw3-5q4w-89qg"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.2.9"],"package":"struts:struts","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-7jw3-5q4w-89qg"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.2.9"],"package":"struts:struts","purl":"pkg:maven/struts/struts","source":"GHSA-7jw3-5q4w-89qg"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1180"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-07-04","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via a race condition in multipart request handling.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1181/"}
