Issue

  • A security scan has picked up the following vulnerabilities related to struts-core:  CVE-2012-1007, CVE-2014-0112

CVE-2014-0112: ParametersInterceptor in Apache Struts before 2.3.20 does not properly restrict access to the getClass method, which allows remote attackers to "manipulate" the ClassLoader and execute arbitrary code via a crafted request. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-0094.

CVE-2012-1007: Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Apache Struts 1.3.10 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the name parameter to struts-examples/upload/upload-submit.do, or the message parameter to (2) struts-cookbook/processSimple.do or (3) struts-cookbook/processDyna.do.

Environment

  • DXP 7.4, DXP 7.3, DXP 7.2, DXP 7.1, DXP 7.0

Resolution

CVE-2014-0112: Liferay does not use Struts 2.x, therefore cannot be vulnerable to this CVE


CVE-2012-1007: Liferay is not affected by the said vulnerability, as the CVE states that the vulnerability can be exploited through the following components:

  1. struts-examples/upload/upload-submit.do

  2. struts-cookbook/processSimple.do

  3. struts-cookbook/processDyna.do

Liferay does not provide struts-examples and struts-cookbook as part of its packages, thus cannot be exploited.
