Apache Struts Session Tampering Vulnerability
The Apache Struts framework is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to tamper with sessions. By manipulating the 'session.somekey' parameter in the 'SomeAction.action' URL, attackers can bypass security restrictions and gain unauthorized access.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to update to Apache Struts versions 2.0.10 or 2.1.8.2 or apply the necessary patches if available. Additionally, proper input validation and session management should be implemented.
