Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Apache Struts 1.2.7, and possibly other versions allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the query string, which is not properly quoted or filtered when the request handler generates an error message.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old reflected cross-site scripting issue in Apache Struts. A vulnerable application can place untrusted query-string content into an error message without proper quoting or filtering, allowing script or HTML to run in a user's browser. Business risk is highest for legacy public Struts applications that still expose affected error handling. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Java web applications using Apache Struts 1.x, especially Struts 1.2.7, where attacker-controlled query strings can reach generated error messages. Internet-facing applications have greater user-impact risk than internal-only systems. Prioritize if any public or partner-facing legacy Struts application remains in service. The issue is old and not KEV-listed, but exposed XSS can still support phishing, session abuse, or user-facing compromise in neglected applications. Mitigation focus: Inventory applications for Apache Struts 1.2.7 or related Struts 1.x versions.; Apply vendor guidance or supported package updates where available.; Retire or migrate unsupported Struts 1.x applications..
