CVE-2013-2115

77
FAUCET Score

CVE-2013-2115 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting Apache Struts 2 versions prior to 2.3.14.2. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary OGNL code by crafting requests that exploit improper handling of the includeParams attribute in URL or A tags, stemming from an incomplete fix for a previous vulnerability. This vulnerability carries a high CVSS score of 8.1, indicating a severe risk with network-based attacks and high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, though with high attack complexity. Its EPSS score of 0.89761 also suggests a high likelihood of exploitation. Exploit code is publicly available, including a Metasploit module, confirming its exploitability. Despite the availability of exploit tools and high risk scores, there is no evidence of active exploitation in the KEV catalog, and community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
