The CookieInterceptor component in Apache Struts before 2.3.1.1 does not use the parameter-name whitelist, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted HTTP Cookie header that triggers Java code execution through a static method.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-0392 is a remote code execution flaw in Apache Struts before 2.3.1.1. A vulnerable application may process a crafted HTTP Cookie header in a way that can trigger Java code execution. For executives, the concern is legacy Struts applications that are still internet-facing or business-critical. Exposure is most likely in legacy Apache Struts2 applications older than 2.3.1.1, especially where CookieInterceptor is enabled and reachable through public HTTP requests. The bundle does not identify specific downstream products or distributions. Treat as urgent for any legacy Struts2 application exposed to untrusted users. Remote command execution can lead to full application compromise, but priority depends on whether affected versions are still deployed. Mitigation focus: Identify Struts2 applications running versions before 2.3.1.1.; Upgrade affected Apache Struts deployments to 2.3.1.1 or later.; Review Apache S2-008 and version notes for vendor guidance..
