CookieInterceptor in Apache Struts 2.x before 2.3.20, when a wildcard cookiesName value is used, does not properly restrict access to the getClass method, which allows remote attackers to "manipulate" the ClassLoader and modify session state via a crafted request. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-0113.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-0116 affects Apache Struts 2.x before 2.3.20 when CookieInterceptor uses a wildcard cookiesName setting. A remote attacker could abuse crafted requests to interfere with class-loading behavior and session state. The issue is an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-0113, so older Struts deployments deserve prompt review. Exposure is most likely in legacy Java web applications using Apache Struts 2.x before 2.3.20 with CookieInterceptor configured for wildcard cookiesName values. Products bundling Struts may also be relevant, as Oracle and Huawei advisories are referenced. Treat this as a priority legacy Struts cleanup item, especially for internet-facing applications. There is no cited active exploitation, but the remote attack surface and session-state impact make unsupported or pre-2.3.20 Struts deployments unacceptable business risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apache Struts 2.x deployments to 2.3.20 or later where applicable.; Review Apache S2-022 and vendor advisories for product-specific fixes.; Identify and remediate wildcard cookiesName usage in vulnerable CookieInterceptor configurations..
