CVE-2016-0785 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting Apache Struts 2.x versions prior to 2.3.28. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by injecting a "%{}" sequence into a tag attribute, leveraging a forced double OGNL evaluation. With a CVSS score of 8.8 (HIGH), this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low privileges and no user interaction, potentially leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its high severity and FAUCET Risk Score of 96/100, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
