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-2016-1182 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-2016-1182/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1182/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-1182","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1182/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-1182","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5ggr-mpgw-3mgx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Struts 1","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute cross-site scripting attacks or cause denial of service via crafted input in Apache Struts 1.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"struts","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"ActionServlet.java in Apache Struts 1 1.x through 1.3.10 does not properly restrict the Validator configuration, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or cause a denial of service via crafted input, 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-2016-1182","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:struts","products":["apache:struts"],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":20,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1183"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.3.10"],"package":"org.apache.struts:struts-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5ggr-mpgw-3mgx"},{"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-5ggr-mpgw-3mgx"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.2.9"],"package":"struts:struts","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5ggr-mpgw-3mgx"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.2.9"],"package":"struts:struts","purl":"pkg:maven/struts/struts","source":"GHSA-5ggr-mpgw-3mgx"}],"prev":{"headline":"Improper Input Validation in Apache Struts","id":"CVE-2016-1181"},"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute cross-site scripting attacks or cause denial of service via crafted input in Apache Struts 1.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1182/"}
