Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in XWork in Apache Struts 2.x before 2.2.3, and OpenSymphony XWork in OpenSymphony WebWork, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving (1) an action name, (2) the action attribute of an s:submit element, or (3) the method attribute of an s:submit element.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old reflected XSS issue in Apache Struts/XWork and OpenSymphony WebWork. A remote attacker could cause vulnerable applications to return attacker-controlled script or HTML through certain action and submit attributes. Business impact depends on whether the vulnerable framework is still exposed in customer-facing or authenticated web applications. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Java web applications still running Apache Struts 2.x before 2.2.3 or OpenSymphony WebWork/XWork components. Internet-facing login, error, or form workflows deserve priority review. Prioritize if legacy Struts or WebWork remains in production, especially on internet-facing applications. If inventories confirm no affected components, business urgency is low. The main risk is account or session compromise through browser-executed script. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apache Struts 2.x deployments to 2.2.3 or later where applicable.; Identify and retire unsupported OpenSymphony WebWork/XWork deployments where no maintained fix is available.; Check Apache Struts S2-006 and version notes for vendor-specific remediation guidance..
