Title:Apache Struts 2.5.x < 2.5.28.1 Log4j RCE Vulnerability
Summary:Apache Struts is prone to a remote code execution (RCE); vulnerability in the Apache Log4j library.
Description:Summary:
Apache Struts is prone to a remote code execution (RCE)
vulnerability in the Apache Log4j library.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was found that the fix to address CVE-2021-44228 in Apache
Log4j 2.15.0 was incomplete in certain non-default configurations. This could allow attackers with
control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data when the logging configuration uses a non-default
Pattern Layout with either a Context Lookup (for example, $${ctx:loginId}) or a Thread Context Map
pattern (%X, %mdc, or %MDC) to craft malicious input data using a JNDI Lookup pattern resulting in
an information leak and remote code execution in some environments and local code execution in all
environments.

Affected Software/OS:
Apache Struts version 2.5.x prior to 2.5.28.1.

Solution:
Update to version 2.5.28.1 or later.

CVSS Score:
5.1

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
