Findings for SCA, High, [TheRedHatter/javagoof:todolist-web-struts/pom.xml]:Denial of Service (DoS)

Component Details

  • Exploit Maturity: no-known-exploit
  • Vulnerable Package: -
  • Current Version: -
  • Vulnerable Version(s): >[2.3.7,2.3.34),[2.5,2.5.13)
  • Vulnerable Path: >null

Overview

Apache Struts2 is a popular open-source framework for developing web applications in the Java programming language.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks. The REST Plugin is using outdated XStream library which is vulnerable and allow perform a DoS attack using malicious request with specially crafted XML payload.

Details

Denial of Service (DoS) describes a family of attacks, all aimed at making a system inaccessible to its intended and legitimate users.

Unlike other vulnerabilities, DoS attacks usually do not aim at breaching security. Rather, they are focused on making websites and services unavailable to genuine users resulting in downtime.

One popular Denial of Service vulnerability is DDoS (a Distributed Denial of Service), an attack that attempts to clog network pipes to the system by generating a large volume of traffic from many machines.

When it comes to open source libraries, DoS vulnerabilities allow attackers to trigger such a crash or crippling of the service by using a flaw either in the application code or from the use of open source libraries.

Two common types of DoS vulnerabilities:

  • High CPU/Memory Consumption- An attacker sending crafted requests that could cause the system to take a disproportionate amount of time to process. For example, commons-fileupload:commons-fileupload.

  • Crash - An attacker sending crafted requests that could cause the system to crash. For Example, npm ws package

Overview

org.apache.struts:struts2-core is a popular open-source framework for developing web applications in the Java programming language.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). When a file upload is performed to an Action that exposes the file with a getter, an attacker may manipulate the request such that the working copy of the uploaded file is set to read-only. As a result, subsequent actions on the file will fail with an error. It might also be possible to set the Servlet container's temp directory to read-only, such that subsequent upload actions will fail.

Overview

Apache Struts2 is a popular open-source framework for developing web applications in the Java programming language.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks. This is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-7672. If an application allows enter an URL in a form field and built-in URLValidator is used, it is possible to prepare a special URL which will be used to overload server process when performing validation of the URL.

Overview

commons-fileupload:commons-fileupload is a component that provides a simple yet flexible means of adding support for multipart file upload functionality to servlets and web applications.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). It allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long boundary string.

Overview

Apache Struts2 is a popular open-source framework for developing web applications in the Java programming language.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. When using a Spring AOP functionality to secure Struts actions it is possible to perform a DoS attack.
