The version of Apache Struts running on the remote Windows host is 2.3.x. It is, therefore, potentially affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in the Struts 1 plugin showcase app in the ActionMessage class due to improper validation of user-supplied input passed via error messages. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationβs self-reported version number.
