Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2017-15707 affects Apache Struts applications using the REST Plugin in versions 2.5 through 2.5.14. The plugin includes an outdated JSON-lib component that can be abused with malicious JSON to cause denial of service. The supplied sources do not provide CVSS, severity, or confirmed exploitation. Exposure is most likely in internet-facing or internal Java applications running Apache Struts 2.5 to 2.5.14 with the REST Plugin enabled and JSON request handling reachable. Prioritize discovery where Struts REST endpoints are exposed to untrusted users. Business impact is availability loss, not confirmed data theft, but public-facing service disruption can still be material. Mitigation focus: Inventory Apache Struts applications and identify versions 2.5 through 2.5.14.; Confirm whether the Struts REST Plugin is enabled or packaged.; Consult Apache S2-054 for the vendor-recommended upgrade or mitigation..
