The Struts CVE-2023-50164 is a path traversal vulnerability that can lead to arbitrary code execution, similar to the infamous 2017 Equifax breach. This new vulnerability allows attackers to upload files and "break out" of the designated upload folder by giving a relative path, which can lead to remote code execution. Upgrading Struts to version 2.5.33 or 6.3.0.2 (or greater) is recommended for remediation. A proof-of-concept exploit demonstrates how this vulnerability works and highlights the importance of securing Struts. Snyk's scanning tools can help detect this issue in both dependencies and custom code, providing actionable advice for remediation. The updated version of Struts automatically sanitizes paths provided as input, making it more secure against path traversal attacks. Using Snyk to actively monitor projects can boost productivity by automatically notifying developers of new vulnerabilities and creating pull requests for review and merge.
