id: CVE-2021-31805

info:
  name: Apache Struts2 S2-062 - Remote Code Execution
  author: taielab
  severity: critical
  description: Apache Struts2 S2-062 is vulnerable to remote code execution. The fix issued for CVE-2020-17530 (S2-061) was incomplete, meaning some of the tag's attributes could still perform a double evaluation if a developer applied forced OGNL evaluation by using the %{...} syntax.
  remediation: Avoid using forced OGNL evaluation on untrusted user input, and/or upgrade to Struts 2.5.30 or greater which checks if expression evaluation won't lead to the double evaluation.
