CVE-2013-2115: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

May 13, 2022 (updated December 27, 2023)

Apache Struts 2 before 2.3.14.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OGNL code via a crafted request that is not properly handled when using the includeParams attribute in the (1) URL or (2) A tag. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-1966.
