CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedApache Struts is vulnerable to a resource allocation issue that allows unauthenticated remote clients to manipulate localized-text caches, potentially exhausting the Java heap and leading to denial of service for other users. Applications that do not configure a fixed locale are particularly at risk. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to versions 6.11.0 or 7.3.0 to mitigate this vulnerability.
Original NVD Description
Allocation of resources without limits or throttling vulnerability in Apache Struts. When no fixed locale is configured, the locale used for localized-text lookups is taken from the incoming request, allowing an unauthenticated remote client to cause the framework's internal localized-text caches to grow without bound and exhaust the Java heap, denying service to other users. Applications that configure a fixed locale are not affected. This issue affects Apache Struts: from 2.0.0 through 2.3.37, from 2.5.0 through 2.5.33, from 6.0.0 through 6.10.0, from 7.0.0 through 7.2.1. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.11.0 or 7.3.0, which fixes the issue.
