CVE-2008-6504: ParameterInterceptors bypass allows OGNL statement execution

March 23, 2009 (updated August 16, 2017)

ParametersInterceptor does not properly restrict # (pound sign) references to context objects, which allows remote attackers to execute Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) statements and modify server-side context objects, as demonstrated by use of a \u0023 representation for the # character.
