The ParameterInterceptor component in Apache Struts before 2.3.1.1 does not prevent access to public constructors, which allows remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a crafted parameter that triggers the creation of a Java object.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-0393 affects Apache Struts before 2.3.1.1. A remote attacker may be able to abuse request parameters so the application creates Java objects in an unsafe way, leading to arbitrary file creation or overwrite. The business risk is highest for internet-facing legacy Struts applications. Likely exposure is legacy Apache Struts 2 deployments running versions before 2.3.1.1, especially public web applications accepting untrusted request parameters. Treat this as a high-priority legacy application risk. It is old, publicly documented, and potentially file-impacting, but the provided sources do not prove active exploitation. Focus first on public Struts systems and systems handling sensitive data. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apache Struts to 2.3.1.1 or later per vendor guidance.; Prioritize externally reachable Struts applications for remediation.; If upgrade timing is unclear, review Apache S2-008 guidance before choosing compensating controls..
