32
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-1181 is a high-severity vulnerability in Apache Struts 1 (versions 1.x through 1.3.10) and products utilizing it, such as Oracle Banking Platform and Portal. It stems from improper handling of multithreaded access to ActionForm instances in ActionServlet.java, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via multipart requests. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.1 (High) due to its network attack vector, high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but also high attack complexity. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
