It allows an attacker to easily make a maliciously crafted request (a malicious Content-Type value) to an Apache webserver and have it execute. How can you mitigate it? The best I came across was a post by Pete Freitag, which .   Many core JAVA functions can be exposed, for example, java.core.ProcessBuilder() allows an external program to be run on the system. Exploitation is also further facilitated by the ability to receive information back from the server on the status and output of the commands that are executed by the web server. In this case, we can set the Content-Type to an OGNL expression such as: The vulnerability occurs because the Content-Type is not escaped after the error, and is then used by LocalizedTextUtil.findText function to build the error message. Successfully exploiting a RCE vulnerability could allow the attacker to run arbitrary programs, retrieve source code, or exfiltrate data from the application's database. syntax. &gt; This Metasploit module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in Apache Struts versions 2.3 through 2.3.4, and 2.5 through 2.5.16. Metasploit has a lot of system vulnerabilities using code, but it does not have all the vulnerability code, so Metasploit has a very powerful feature that allows users to develop their own vulnerability module, s2-045 exploit module Metasploit though not yet .
